Gedi Sibony's Second Solo Exhibition at Greene Naftali Features Minimalist Installations with Industrial Materials
From October 22 to December 4, 2010, Gedi Sibony showcased his second solo exhibition at the Greene Naftali gallery located at 508 West 26th Street, 8th Floor, New York City. The exhibition included site-specific installations crafted from industrial and discarded materials. Notably, The Cutters (2007) greeted visitors at the entrance with a stark wall and a doorframe draped in ochre fabric. Sibony's works incorporated architectural aspects of the gallery, utilizing materials such as decayed wood and fragments of sheetrock. The Brighter Grows the Lantern (2010) displayed white vinyl illuminated by colored spotlights, while Asleep Outside the Wall (2010) featured a partially painted wooden structure. A collaborative work with Diana Lyon, Who Attracts All That is Named (2010), was located in a back room.
