Marcel Sitcoske Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of
works by artist Thomas Zummer. The exhibition opens Tuesday, April
20.
The title of Thomas Zummer’s new exhibition refers not to the
life of the artist, nor to the dates of works, but to the field
of references which the works address. The key to these drawings,
sculptures, and constructions lies in understanding where images
come from, and how they enter into art and language. Zummer questions
the origins of drawing by tampering with the process of reference.
In this exhibition there are exquisite drawings of photocopies of
lightbulbs, drawings of 3D computer models that the artist has made,
or drawings of fragments of photographs and found texts. All of
the works trace the ways technologies (such as photography, cinema,
print or digital media) intercede between perception and reference.
Thomas Zummer currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.
