SCULPTURE STORAGE is an event-based exhibition that will take place on a temporary platform built at LaMaMa La Galleria. The small stage will be host to a series of performances, screenings, workshops and lectures by both the Cooper Union community and its extended network on the inescapable subject of storage.
The platform will start out empty, but will accumulate debris from each event as it takes place. The physical wear on the structure and the rubble left from the nine days will act as a living timeline of the events that took place there. Posters surrounding the stage will both advertise and memorialize the events as they unfold during the exhibition.
The events will be organized though an open submission process at www.the-cave.biz, where the calendar of events can be accessed. The website will also provide a live webcam feed of the gallery space.
Sculpture Storage is headed by the organizers of The Cave in conjunction with The Cooper Union School of Art. The Cave was an art and performance space in Brooklyn run by seven Cooper Union students last year. It functioned as an inclusive space to make work, show work, socialize, and to bring bring people together in an atmosphere of fun and practice. The Cave ethos still lives on beyond the space through the collaborations and events planned by its members.
