DEEP END
ON VIEW SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 – NOVEMBER 17, 2019
With the opening of a dedicated gallery space at 15 W. 9th St, Wonder Fair resumes its regular exhibition schedule, a major feature of early iterations of the business. The new gallery space, purportedly once an early 20th-Century bus terminal with high ceilings and gentle northern light, welcomes artist Kristen Martincic for its inaugural exhibition: Deep End.
In Deep End ,Martincic will show newer delicate hand-cut, printed, and stitched paper swimsuits, dimensional pool floats, and crystalline images of swimming pools. Martincic's main body of work in Deep End is its large line up of swimsuits--objects of particular extraordinary delicacy and beauty that can only be truly appreciated in up close and in person. Made of successive layers of delicate woodcut printing on semi-translucent natural printmaking papers, the suits all feature painstakingly and perfectly turned hems, modern clean shapes, and huge rewards for the careful viewer who can appreciate both their big impact as a group, and the incredible subtleties of each piece alone.
Following the Final Friday Grand Opening of Deep End, look for Wonder Fair Gallery to begin regular hours starting Saturday, September 28th. Wonder Fair Gallery will be open 12-8 daily, closed Tuesdays.
