Peter Freeman, Inc. Group Show Explores Systems of Control
The exhibition titled '5, 7, 9, 11, 13' at Peter Freeman, Inc. features the artistic works of Walter De Maria, Jasper Marsalis, Park McArthur, and Sung Tieu, spotlighting both sculptures and drawings. The title references De Maria’s nine stainless steel rods, which have 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 sides. The artists delve into the ideas of measurement and control, relating them to music, math, and space. By emphasizing causality and performance, the exhibit prompts visitors to reconsider how personal and societal influences shape everyday experiences. Additionally, sound plays a significant role in their work, complemented by a related sound piece program. Walter De Maria (1935–2013) is represented in prestigious collections, including The Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
