Drawing on the visual language of architecture and functional design, Djordjadze creates sculptural environments that foreground the lasting legacy of Modernism while evoking the vernacular and folk traditions native to the Caucasus region in the Republic of Georgia. For MoMA PS1, she will build a large-scale sculptural installation made especially for the museum’s ground floor, brick-walled, duplex gallery. Responding to the room’s exaggerated ceiling height, the work is inspired by a 12th century pharmacy located in the cave city of Vardzia, Georgia, pictured in a poster that hung in the artist’s childhood bedroom.

He completes the thought by stating that the creative process of the mind can only regroup elements from already existing sources—that any one creative fantasy is a work of translating what one knows of reality into an imaginary space. The exhibition, organized from proposals for new work submitted through SculptureCenter's annual open call, borrows from the operation of the dream composite—what Freud termed "condensation"—to foreground practices that employ the means of combining and blending often contradictory elements into a collective image. The artists in the exhibition each propose fantastical places or narratives that are differentiated by distinct material approaches. If the purpose of recreating fantasies of one's psychic life is to tease out questions of being, the exhibition's composed scenes are a result of an almost obsessive inner-directedness. Whether cast, traced, projected, or fragmented, the self is designated as the site and source of formation, assuming various forms and gestures that are both physically absolute and psychologically uncertain. When inclined to ascribe a specific meaning to the work, the concept of the composite serves as a reminder that visual representations are mental acts of transformation, distortion, and abstraction of our many thoughts, memories, and desires. These assemblages of artistic wit—a blend of fragments that comprise a larger composition—unprivilege the notion of an exclusive object and instead seek to propose connections between multiple elements in an effort to offer clues to scenarios that appear unequivocally bizarre. 22-25 Jackson Ave • LIC 718.784.2084 • MoMAPS1.org 35 Ave at 37 St • Astoria 718.777.6800 • www.movingimage.us 44-19 Purves St. • LIC 718.361.1750 • sculpture-center.org In July and August 1965, a California-based production company called Graphic Films, founded by former Disney animator and University of Southern California professor Lester Novros, conducted research and created concept sketches for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Among the staff were Con Pederson, who directed a film called To the Moon and Beyond for Graphic Films that Kubrick saw at the World’s Fair at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park earlier that year, and Douglas Trumbull, who had recently joined the company as a background artist. Pederson and Trumbull eventually left Graphic Films to work directly with Kubrick at the MGM studios in England, and were instrumental to the realization of what is arguably the most important science fiction film ever made. This exhibition features rarely seen artwork created by Graphic Films for 2001: A Space Odyssey, and correspondence between the company and Stanley Kubrick. It includes more than twenty detailed sketches for a lunar base and space vehicles; correspondence with script and design suggestions and technical advice; as well as an early draft of the script for the film. 1-877- ELDER LAW 1-877-ESTATES Queens • Long Island • Manhattan • Brooklyn ATTORNEY ADVERTISING
