London-based artist Roger Hiorns continues his use of聽copper sulphate to transform mass-produced objects and everyday environments into聽aesthetic entities. Two of his most recent standing floor sculptures, currently on display聽at聽Luhring Augustine, New York, feature discarded engines that have been refashioned by the organic compound –聽a chemical with an unpredictable reactive potential. By anthropomorphising various聽objects through anatomical references, Hiorns explores the transposable relationship between man and manufactured product in his sculptures, reducing the human figure into representative signs and totems.
Until 20 February.
