Second Nature

Emily Wissemann

 

June 3 – [EXTENDED] July 10, 2016

Opening Reception June 3, 2016, 7–10pm

 

99¢ Plus Gallery is pleased to present “Second Nature,” a solo exhibition by Emily Wissemann. The exhibition explores the boundaries between fine art, decor and functionality. The installation utilizes conventional methods of display and organizational systems employed across disciplines — from malls to playgrounds, to convention centers. This new series of sculptures strips the utility of commonplace materials both reinventing their form and re-contextualizing their function.
