Cornelia Parker February 10, 2010

This exhbit features a series of new wire drawings by gallery artist Cornelia Parker. The artist is well known for her large-scale installations of transformed or destabilized objects that re-emerge in surprisingly beautiful forms. Here, Parker has melted lead bullets and literally drawn them to the limits of their materiality. Creating wire grids, Parker mimics the act of drawing a line. Akin to the Minimalist vision of reducing geometry and abstraction to the barest essentials, Parker's grids transcend the production of bullets as ammunition.
