Gun triggers, spools of thread, tires, hypodermic needles, dog tags, old eyeglasses and telephone books are among the many manufactured and mass-produced objects that more than 50 contemporary, international artists used to create works for Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary, the Museum’s inaugural exhibition at Columbus Circle. Second Lives is a special thematic exhibition featuring artists from 17 countries who transform discarded, commonplace or valueless objects into extraordinary works of art. Second Lives includes new commissions and site-specific installations. Highlighting the creative processes that repurpose these objects, the exhibition explores the transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary and stimulates debate on function, value and identity. Director Holly Hotchner says, “Second Lives reflects the Museum’s core mission of celebrating materials and process. We live in a world populated with consumer products and these artists make magic using society’s castoffs and overlooked items. While the focus of the exhibition is neither on sustainability nor recycling, the works in the exhibition are a catalyst for thought and discussion about these issues. Second Lives is especially timely as the Museum marks its own second life as a renewed institution and as Columbus Circle enjoys its own renaissance.” Organized by Chief Curator David Revere McFadden and Curator Lowery Stokes Sims, Second Lives reflects a current interest among international artists in using ordinary objects as raw materials, an approach rooted in both Dada and Surrealism. The works on view bear implicit social commentaries and explore themes of power, politics, identity, and value. Moreover, each work remains faithful to the traditional standards of craftsmanship, seen in processes that include carving, cabinetmaking, appliqué and collage.
“Our perceptions of objects as being functional Ghana-born and Nigeria-based artist El Anatsui or aesthetic, cheap or valuable are directly has created a new, site-specific work for the challenged in the works on view in Second Lives,” exhibition, a rich, shimmering tapestry made “Our perceptions of objects says McFadden. “The more than 50 artists that are entirely and unexpectedly of foil from liquor featured work in ways that resist categorization bottles.
