Tina West And Tucker Robbins: Is That You That You See
The Robin Rice Gallery is pleased to present Is That You That You See, a photographic exhibition by Tina West, featuring a special new collaboration between Robin Rice and designer, activist Tucker Robbins. The opening reception will be held on Wednesday, January 29, 2019 from 6pm to 8pm. The show will run through March 15, 2019. Is That You That You See is Tina West鈥檚 seventh solo exhibition at the Robin Rice Gallery and Tucker Robbins鈥� first collaboration with Robin Rice.
Inspired of a serendipitous meeting between Robin Rice and Tucker Robbins on a rainy day in New York City, this latest collaboration welcomes an exciting new era at The Robin Rice Gallery. Breaking from the gallery鈥檚 traditional style of display, West鈥檚 photography will be creatively integrated with Robbins鈥� artisan furniture. Designed and built on the edge of the forest by indigenous people using centuries-old techniques, these products are born out of Tucker Robbins鈥� travels to remote locations. Whether woven textile, clay pottery or wood sculpture, these sustainably made products are materials that have been salvaged and refashioned into works of exquisite craftsmanship that are truly one of a kind.
Found objects are essential in the installation. Boosting from an impressive visual flow, the installation discovers intersections between the works that can be seen to echo throughout the space. As West鈥檚 鈥淧assion Lies at the Edge of Uncertainty鈥� presents an image composed of dark negative space leading down to a snake skin on the surface below, Robbins鈥� 鈥淪naka Waka Table鈥� is an Acadian side-table found nearby that was named by the Bamun carvers of Cameroon who likened its circular design to snake walking. Together, West and Robbins make for an installation that invites audiences to sit down and connect to the fine art objects in a manner different from what they are regularly accustomed to at the Robin Rice Gallery.
