MaryAnn Puls [ EVENTS ]
PLACEMENT
collaborative installation with Yoonhee Choi of Blackfish Gallery
420 NW 9th Ave. Portland, Oregon - Sept 3 through 26, 2015
installation details:
For this collaborative installation, abstract artists Yoonhee Choi and MaryAnn Puls worked with components from their artistic practices to explore placement.
The installation spans 2 separated walls. Dense, cast concrete forms by Puls, and open formations of nails and construction staples from Choi were intuitively positioned. The placement of these attachments served as anchor points; beginnings and endings, markers and place holders, to which Choi then responded with various lengths
of string -- as if sketching -- suggesting and connecting an abstract energy between the placement of elements.
