Parsons alumn Isaac Pool has work featured in the current exhibition, Lintel, Mantel, Module, Shelf at La MaMa Galleria.
The sites we inhabit on a day-to-day basis are structured by methods of design and construction that increasingly involve modular architecture, flat-pack furniture, and a constellation of pre-fab, standardized, and replaceable components. Within the context of sites structured by these functional, cost-saving practices, Lintel, Mantel, Module, Shelf focuses on works in which artists co-opt materials and motifs to evade or undermine the conventions of the domestic, industrial, and aesthetic spaces they inhabit.
The exhibition considers how the structuring of a space can be understood as metaphor, and how sterilized sites can be reclaimed for alternative, intimate, or symbolic purposes (from La Galleria).
