@LeverHouseArtCollection “10, FEELS LIKE 2” a site-specific exhibition by NY-based artist #AdamMcEwen (b. 1965, London). A minimalist installation curated by @RoyaSachs includes paintings & sculptures, explores ideas of memory & the uncanny within the context of modernist architecture.   This subtly disorienting exhibition uses the connotations of cold temperature as a tool to freeze the viewer & space in a moment in time. The #LeverHouse lobby floor is tiled in translucent white polyethylene, which unifies the clean architecture of the lobby to give it the appearance of being under a thin layer of ice. “I wanted to leave the space open as much as possible, so that you can see the architecture & so that it’s the architecture that determines what happens. It seemed like using the floor was the simplest way of separating the space fr the rest of the world around it,” explains McEwen. Past & present are suspended in a refrigerator-like glass box, luring viewers to explore a series of objects that are detached from their former functional purpose but weighted w emotional & representational value.   The artworks represent various archetypes of Americana & daily life. Life-size graphite sculptures of objects—which McEwen has described as “three-dimensional drawings of the idea of a thing”—are arrayed throughout the space, each embodying a dubious relationship to their function. A large safe is imposing but empty, a vault that promises much but delivers & secures nothing; a payphone of the kind seen until recently on every American street corner, now an anachronism, connects to nowhere. The other objects—a pickaxe, for digging; a clock, for registering diminishing time; a blister pack of birth control medication; a barbecue hood—are each banal & familiar, verging on the outdated. They are nonetheless freighted—differently for each viewer—with a charge of recognition & association.   The sponge paintings depict an embroidered patch of a hand in a V sign, a counterculture peace symbol fr the 70s & previously a V for Victory sign fr World War II. In this frozen tundra, the peace sign sits in uncertain territory, in an unclear relationship to its own declaration.
