PAST EXHIBITION
Miranda Hellman
July 25, 2008—August 16, 2008
Chashasma is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by
Danish-American artist Miranda Hellman. The work is derived from fear
and constructed imaginary conflicts between water and land. Hellman
explores the power of water over land as natural catastrophes acting as
a metaphor for the cycle of life, in the contrasts between the
experience of living on land, which is divided, by grid systems and the
expansion of the sea. Hellman has spent the last year working from a
studio on Pier 4 in Brooklyn, NY where she has derived much of the
inspiration. Also on view are several paintings from the series Destroy
and Develop a project that documents and investigates the demolitions
of a residential section of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn NY. While
buildings are being erected and demolished on a daily basis, the urban
landscape undergoes dramatic transformations.
