Gallery hours : Thursday – Monday, 12-6pm.
Local Project is pleased to present Shell Game, an exhibition by Caleb Nussear and Brian Zegeer, running from Friday, March 4 to Monday, March 21. Employing cast-off materials from Long Island City’s streets in the production of a sculptural installation, Shell Game enacts a conversation with LIC.’s idiosyncratic urban geography. Characterized in abrupt transitions between light-industrial, residential, and commercial zones, LIC’s mercurial character will be elicited in an ever-changing, visionary topology created from its own detritus. This installation will be accompanied by an animation documenting sculptural investigations.
The project will take place in two phases:
1.Throughout the two weeks of the exhibition, Zegeer will travel throughout the various LIC neighborhoods with a home-made pushcart, salvaging cast-off objects from the streets surrounding the gallery. A video camera mounted to the cart will document Zegeer’s travels.
2.The objects will then be transported to Local Project gallery, where Nussear will integrate the components into a room-sized steel, plywood, and cut-glass grid-work, suggesting Long Island City’s geography in miniature. Nussear will continually rearrange incoming objects into topologies over the course of the exhibition, privileging materiality and formal insights over a literal representation of the surrounding neighborhoods.
An LCD monitor at the entrance of the gallery will combine video footage from scavenging missions with a stop-motion animation produced from documentation of the evolving installation.
Shell Game ultimately creates a composite of its subject landscape, via the material investigations of the artists. In plumbing Long Island City’s neighborhoods for their rubbish and cast-aways, the artists offer a snapshot of the various social, economic, and cultural forces at play in the constitution of this dynamic neighborhood.
