Tauba Auerbach's 'Zephyr, Zephyr' Explores Turbulence and Order at Paula Cooper Gallery
Tauba Auerbach's show titled 'Zephyr, Zephyr' is on display at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York from September 10 to October 24, 2026. The exhibition showcases new creations in painting, photography, sound, and kinetic sculpture, emphasizing themes of currents and concurrence. Notably, it includes a collection of pointillist paintings inspired by microscopic images of liquid foam. Additionally, Auerbach features black-and-white images captured by a heat-sensitive camera that records water movements. Glass chimes produce random sounds, while kinetic sculptures illustrate synchronized motion. This exhibition furthers Auerbach's investigation into perception and structural dynamics. Her earlier works comprise the 2018 project 'Flow Separation' and the 'S v Z' survey at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
