At the Carnegie Museum of Art, Sebastian Errazuriz’s first solo exhibit heeds the following warning: Look Again. In the Hall of Architecture, Errazuriz’s debut exhibit Look Again restructures everyday objects to provoke the viewer to think twice about the typical use of common items. Using “found and repurposed objects,” Errazuriz creates innovative artworks that engage and surprise the viewer in order to “confront the transience of life, and question the status quo.”
Among the restructured pieces is a cabinet armored with bamboo spikes, a lamp attached to a taxidermy duck, Occupy Wall Street slogans painted on folding chairs, and a piano with a motor attached to signify moving forward towards another life. Even the entrance to the gallery has been redesigned: Errazuriz’s places two door viewers to invite passersby to stop and look while also hoping to have the door maintain anonymity and blend in. The artwork creates questions within the viewer to look at reality in a different way and see another perspective of something that might have always been present.
The pieces not only confront the viewer, but engage them as seen through Errazuriz’s wall of drawings. Featured in the show is a wall of half-finished, everyday objects drawn by Errazuriz. Since Errazuriz only finishes pieces that “continue to engage and seduce him,” the sketch wall encourages visitors to actively participate and finish the drawings that intrigue them and come up with their own Look Again-inspired pieces.
Sebastian Errazuriz: Look Again is on display until January 12, 2015. To download a brochure of Errazuriz’s Look Again visit CMOA’s website.
