Presenting works by Marianne Vitale, Carl Andre, and Alan Vega, the exhibition stages a dialogue across Minimalism, punk, and brute material practice. Each artist advances a distinct approach to industrial form, yet all share a concern with reduction, rawness, and the charge of the everyday object.
Marianne Vitale
Vitale’s sculptures are produced from dismantled locomotive trains. The steel skins of train car shells are welded into foot-square cubes, while interior components are recontextualized as monumental forms. Skull, 2025 and Junk, 2025—casing elements once designed to house a crankshaft—exemplify her transformation of engineered utility. The works resonate with Minimalist precedent while insistently foregrounding processes of rupture, violence, and reclamation.
Carl Andre
Andre’s rigorously pared-down floor works anchor the exhibition in the language of Minimalism. Composed of simple, repeatable units, his works demonstrate how sculptural meaning can emerge from material logic alone. The arrangement of unmanipulated found elements into forms determined by the units of matter themselves and their surrounding spaces, highlights the structural affinities and divergences with Vitale’s industrial cubes.
Alan Vega
Renowned for his role in the proto-punk band "Suicide," Vega's assemblage light sculptures are presented on the gallery’s walls. Comprised from salvaged materials and infused with raw, electric energy, his works channel the defiant spirit of punk into a visual language that is both improvisational and sharply defined. -
