Project Room: Andy Mister | My Apologies

Andy Mister is invested in the boundaries between mechanical and manual production, and a new suite of pastel on linen still lifes are installed in the gallery’s project room. Mister’s latest works shift away from traditional photographic appropriation and move towards collaboration; integrating partnerships with outside artists to create source material that Mister then interprets – the content neither created by him nor found. Working with friend and photographer Pauline Shapiro, who formed and documented small flower bouquets culled from her garden in Brooklyn, Mister sets the arrangements against a seamless backdrop, keeping them unplaced in space and time, floating. Titled My Apologies, Mister’s exhibition is a love letter to the humanity of intimate gestures that compensate for unintended errors in partnership.
