Bruno Cançado and Sophia Starling August 13 September 24, 2021
Schedule an Appointment Peep is pleased to announce Remnants, a
two-person exhibition featuring Bruno Cançado and Sophia Starling.
The exhibition includes a new body of porcelain and rubber Studio
Obstacles by Starling, which continue her exploration of minimalism
and folding its reductive formal language in on itself. By working
with serial continuation, scale, space and phenomenological
experience, Starling plays with common preconceptions of materials and
shapes to create ambiguous interactions. Cançados charcoal drawings
of classical vessels fused to the wall with beeswax are part of an
ongoing series Studies on the Solid that developed from his interest
in the tradition of ceramic production and how knowledge of pot making
has been passed down through generations. Cançados work intersects
with architecture, archaeology, ecology, and epistemology through his
process-based and procedural concept-art. Learn more here . Bruno
