Jason Rhoades: PeaRoeFoam

Sep 11, 2014 - Oct 18, 2014

David Zwirner is pleased to present its first exhibition of Jason Rhoades鈥檚 work since Black Pussy in 2007. On view at 537 West 20th Street in New York, the show will be a reinstatement of the artist鈥檚 PeaRoeFoam project, which debuted at the gallery in 2002 (then located on Greene Street in SoHo) in the first of a trilogy of exhibitions that also brought it to Vienna and Liverpool the same year. A seminal work within Rhoades鈥檚 career, it has not been exhibited as a comprehensive presentation until now and many of the individual components are shown here for the first time since the original installations.

PeaRoeFoam was Rhoades鈥檚 self-made recipe for a 鈥渂rand new product and revolutionary new material鈥 created from whole green peas, fish-bait style salmon eggs, and white virgin-beaded foam. When combined with non-toxic glue, they transform into a versatile, fast-drying, and ultimately hard material that Rhoades intended for both utilitarian as well as artistic use鈥攎ade accessible in the form of do-it-yourself 鈥渒its,鈥 complete with everything needed to make PeaRoeFoam, accompanied by the artist鈥檚 detailed, step-by-step instructions.
