Anywhere But Here (schoolgirl at edge of deep chasm)*Note: This exhibit is scheduled to close on 3/23/07.
Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art (San Francisco) is presenting a solo exhibit of sculptures by young Los Angeles artist Jeremy Mora. Mora creates miniature diorama-like landscapes, and there are 53 of them on view. Some editing would have helped, but it’s a very engaging show.
Mora’s vignettes are usually views of nature, often remote spots, into which humans have intruded and left their mark. In some cases, miniature people (less than ¼-inch high) are present. In other cases, there is just some construction or paraphernalia of habitation. A few of the works depict urban infrastructure. The fabrication is meticulous.
It is probably time for a museum show of new miniatures—quite a few artists are working in this vein now.
Here is a small selection from Mora’s show:
And So We March (clowns on parade)
Weeds
Park
Graveyard (stacks of crushed automobiles)
