Following his recent solo at Swivel Gallery last month, Brooklyn based artist Derek Weisberg returns with a new presentation of works at the Lower Manhattan gallery, Trotter & Sholer. Titled
I’ve Done Too Much Slithering, I’m Now Claiming Skies, the exhibition offers a seven-year exploration of themes surrounding fragmentation and reconstruction. Materiality is at the core of Weisberg’s work, which pays close attention to the scars and ruptures, as well as the repairs. Weisberg’s masks and sculptures are created from shards of earlier works that he broke in an act of creative destruction; similarly his collages are assembled from found materials and pieces of drawings resulting in unexpected compositions.
