Ohad Meromi : The Spirit of the Dance

How should a monument be? In his first solo show at 56 Henry, Ohad Meromi asks this question by presenting a gargantuan sculpture of a naked figure, rough-hewn but graceful, which towers over the space of the gallery. Loosely based on the 1932 William Zorach sculpture “Spirit of the Dance,” Meromi’s figure, made of orange Polyurethane foam and bearing both breasts and a penis, positions itself as a sculpture in the process of becoming. For Meromi, the monument, with its potential connotations of oppression, triumphalism, and force, is recreated here in the gentler form of a proposal: a model for a freer, better world. With its malleable materiality, imprinted by the artist’s hand, Meromi’s sculpture celebrates the ability to rethink the possibilities of the body in the context of art, and offers the exhibition space as a site that presents a hint of a utopian horizon.

Christophe Fellay and Marie-Noële Guex : Long ago in a soft light

Long ago in a soft light, by Marie-Noële Guex and Christophe Fellay, is an installation of interconnected sound and visual artworks created from “traces” recorded during a series of performances at 601Artspace in 2019. Through a collaborative generative process that deconstructs their work into granular entities, Guex and Fellay privilege structure and process over content to create meaning.

​

Tessa Perutz : Le Rêve AméricainBringing us to our current exhibition, full of fantastical effects and Nick’s Dream Fountain, a wishing well in which water spouts from objects such as fruits, busts of statues, jack-o-lanterns and glazed pastries, pooling into a black reflective lagoon below. On the surface, it presents a kooky-fun auspicious experience, a catchy jingle over the deeper criticism of American consumerism and instant success stories.
