Jonathan Schipper’s latest show at Pierogi Gallery’s massive satellite space in Williamsburg, the Boiler, features a hand-built sculpture-making machine,
a giant room filled with 12 tons of salt, and a hot tub open for visitors to watch the installation in action. Over the course of the exhibition, Schipper’s apparatus continues to build tiny white sculptures within the gallery space resulting in a topographical installation that functions as a tongue-in-cheek meditation on impermanence and decay — longtime themes in the artist’s work.
See it before it closes this Sunday.
