Simone Leigh, Loophole of Retreat: The Hugo Boss Prize
On the occasion of Leigh winning the 2018 Hugo Boss Prize, this exhibition was comprised of a combination of recent and newly commissioned work. The weights of each sculpture had to be taken into consideration as we worked through layouts, which lead to a beautifully choreographed process between the gaze of each object and the building itself. The cinderblock environment in the back of the gallery housed a sound installation intended to add a sense of transparent compression related to the piece itself.
