Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins’s Balancing Act takes control of Cristin Tierney Gallery with a ginormous, interactive claw crane and a new series of paintings depicting what it could or couldn’t possibly construct. Incorporating new and more familiar devices from their last twenty-three years of collaboration, the Canada-based duo employs abstract and representational techniques to critique the unstable relationships found between fine arts and entertainment, humans and machines.
