Studio Voltaire

Alexandra Bircken presents a new site–specific sculptural intervention, taking the gallery’s vaulted ceiling as its central formal concern.

Bircken reimagines this distinctive structure as a cavernous, upturned ship’s hull. Working with craftsmen to replicate ship building methods, Bircken will construct three imposing bowed beams. Traversing the gallery space, these beams intersect with the building to create a spiral of arches. Concise and austere, this new work echoes the shell–like carcass of a boat with a deceptively simple gesture that capsizes the architecture of the gallery.
