Megan Whitmarsh Exhibtiion at The Wolfsonian, Art Basel Miami

Recursive Objects
Megan Whitmarsh

A series of sculptures made in response to the Wolfsonian’s collection will be covertly interspersed throughout the museum. The Wolfsonian has a vast and earnest collection of high design and humble utilitarian items. While the varied backgrounds lend democracy, each piece also resonates with a sense of character. The meaning transferred into these objects by the act of collecting them creates an appealing sense of self-made worth which serves as metaphor for the act of making art. I have made facsimiles of some of these objects (to replace the originals in the exhibition) and also added my own inventions with similarly invented backgrounds.

Recursive Objects will be on display during Art Basel in Miami Florida, December 3rd - 6th.
