Ivan Gaete
White & Black
An exhibition curated by Leah Stuhltrager

February 17 - March 26 | 2006
Dam Stuhltrager Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
--

Two large diptychs depict the physical movement and the philosophic journey of numbers, letters and lines.

Budding from the paths and pathos of data as it transcends to and from nonsense to clarity, Gaete’s drawings map the abstract process of communication.

Reminiscent of the night sky, a calculus teacher’s busy chalkboard, cells dividing under a microscope or an accountant’s figurations at tax time, the drawings are detailed surveys of how knowledge is formed and conveyed.

Fleeting and emerging lines, letters, patterns and numbers suggest infinite routes traveled, not a static or single isolated moment.
