Elliott Hundley's Seventh Solo Show at Regen Projects Explores Metacognition in 'Book of Sand'
'Book of Sand,' an exhibition featuring new paintings, sculptures, and tapestries by Elliott Hundley, is being showcased at Regen Projects in Los Angeles. This marks Hundley's seventh solo exhibition with the gallery. The display broadens his diverse exploration of materiality, viewed through the lens of metacognition and philosophical play. While previous shows were inspired by works such as Euripidean tragedies, Rilke's sonnets, and plays by Artaud and Genet, 'Book of Sand' delves into Hundley's vibrant inner world. Each piece is created through automatism, utilizing paint, paper cut-outs, string, encaustic, and other found objects without a set narrative. His signature use of pins and accumulation serves as both a technique and a significant symbol throughout the exhibition.
