If you want to create detailed and imaginative flying
machine sculptures that look like they’re about to take flight, cardboard is
hardly the material to use. Unless of course you’re artist Daniel Agdag, who
has been toiling away creating a series of new works each more detailed and
fascinating than the next. “The Principles of Aerodynamics” is Agdag’s first
solo exhibition where his series of cardboard contraptions that portray his
“ongoing pursuit of escape through the metaphor of flight” will be on display
through Aug 31, 2014.
As he’s done in the past, Agdag forfeits all blueprints, drawings and plans choosing, instead, to work only from mind and scalpel. His industrial beasts–get close and you can almost smell the oil and smoke; hear the clanking and buzzing–come together only from sliced cardboard hinged with glue.
