Peter Soriano's 'Dimensions Variable' exhibition at Frederico Sève Gallery presents conceptual wall installations

From September 23 to November 6, 2010, Peter Soriano presented his exhibition 'Dimensions Variable' at Frederico Sève Gallery in New York City. The show featured wall installations composed of aluminum tubes, steel cables, and spray-painted markings in primary colors. These elements created tension and visual paradoxes, with cables guyed to eyebolts using turnbuckles. Specific works like Other Side #93 (BASC) and Other Side #75 (DIXA) demonstrated how painted arrows and brackets interacted with physical forces. Soriano's approach references conceptual artists like Mel Bochner and Sol LeWitt while maintaining a distinct comic frustration. The artist's earlier sensuous resin works contrast with this newer direction toward readymade elements. Drawings on view revealed connections to Picasso's cubist anxieties about vision. The installations can be remade to scale without the artist's direct involvement, emphasizing their conceptual nature.
