Reviews of Gedi Sibony
April 30th, 2009As the show Gedi Sibony: My Arms Are Tied Behind My Other Arms came to and end, reviews began. Look for these reviews here. Here is the intro of one that was published in ArtReview.
Much of what Gedi Sibony has done in this radiantly beautiful exhibition is so subtle, it almost escapes notice. In one gallery, for example, he shortens a black curtain to reveal two panes of a clerestory. And throughout, he installs his pieces so that correspondences between material and form – remnants of carpet or shoddy plasterboard doors, say – create triangular relationships across the exhibition space. Such moves pull the eye away from his own work and lead it around the broad proportions of Brad Cloepfil’s much-praised architecture – which to Sibony’s credit comes off as sublimely balanced rather than elegant and cold.
