Julia Westerbeke's Punctured Paper Drawings at Salon Zürcher During Frieze Week

Julia Westerbeke's work at Salon Zürcher features drawings created by puncturing paper with countless pinpricks. The resulting patterns evoke both microscopic and cosmic imagery, suggesting petri dishes and galaxies. Her technique involves the physical erosion of the paper itself, producing a tactile sense of disintegration. The exhibition is located at 33 Bleecker Street in New York, between Lafayette Street and the Bowery. Viewing hours are Sunday from noon to 8pm and another Sunday from noon to 5pm. One specific piece on display is 'Afterimage IV' from 2015, measuring 32 by 48.5 inches. The show is part of Frieze Week programming. The artist's method transforms the material through systematic perforation.
