The exhibition presents new works in several media, bringing together pointillist paintings of liquid foams photographed through a microscope, photographs of hot and cold water currents, crystalline sounds from suspended glass chimes, and paired moving sculptures.
Auerbach presents this group as a family of new works in various media, framing the exhibition as a reflection on currents and concurrence. The pointillist paintings constitute a new generation of works depicting liquid foams photographed through a microscope, with hand-painted dots gathering into refractive images on sprayed panels that float slightly off the wall.
Within the foam series, earlier works examined foam’s architecture, while these paintings focus on its interaction with light.
The suspended chimes are presented through their crystalline sounds, while the water-current works take hot and cold currents as their photographic subject and the sculptures appear in paired moving forms.
