Cristin Tierney Gallery is now opening Balancing Act, an interactive kinetic sculptural installation with accompanying paintings by artist duo Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins. The exhibition opens Friday, June 2nd, with a reception from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, and continues through July 21st. This is the artists’ third solo exhibition with the gallery, and they will be present at the reception.
At the center of Marman and Borins’ exhibition is a claw machine based on the classic arcade game. Gallery visitors are invited to play the larger-than-life machine, using a joystick to direct a crane to pick up and rearrange geometric shapes into balanced compositions. Crafted by hand and covered in wool felt, these sculptural forms are designed in a variety of shapes and colorful hues. They are stackable and endlessly reconfigurable, with no one correct arrangement or defined goal.
