A Future Life is a solo exhibition by artist and curator JONATHAN BERGER who is presenting for the first time after nearly a decade of curating, his own body of work.
This presentation is an immersive installation, for which he created an entire handmade floor and plinths constructed from small charcoal blocks. Additionally the walls and the ceiling have been painted in the same dark tone offering a monochromatic background to a series of smallscale sculptural objects.
While these objects seem rather mysterious if not anecdotal, the charcoal display is challenging the hierarchies of sculpture by using the whole exhibition space as a material support. I like also the fact that charcoal stains are treacherous: one wrong move and you’ll have grainy black powder streaked all over your clothing and your hands.
A Future Life is on view until 12 March at Adams and Ollman, Portland, Oregon.
