PATTERN VS. DECORATION

531 West 36th Street

16 June – 4 August 2007

Chang, Danziger, Faruqee, Phungrasamee Fein, Haeckel, Higgins, Kürten, Liu, Ouadahi, Rodriguez, Adibi, Brand, Dopp, El Hanani, Grubin, Hackett, Hoferer, Mayer, Napangardi, Outlaw, Stenger, Wasson

Elise Adibi’s paintings are each constructed from an algorithm. Self-generating, they develop systematically, yet erratically. Patterns loop back on themselves and the clarity of the original pattern becomes corrupted by the “noise” of physicality, error and complexity.
