Creative Capital

Description

Abstraction and Emancipation will examine the physical design of buildings and public squares and address how particular urban spaces become epicenters of revolutions, both symbolically and literally. In part, Lisa Sigal’s project will respond to places where people have taken to the streets in protest and revolution. The work will comprise several distinct large-scale works on paper and will involve casting, rubbing, drawing and painting in response to the surface and structure of the specific sites to be determined. The drawn surfaces might include street signs, redrawn posters, handmade signs, marks and indications of surface abrasion or distress.
