18 Wooster Street, New York

Human Structures, Jonathan Borofsky’s first gallery exhibition since 1992, will open at Deitch Projects on Thursday, November 2nd. The exhibition features two new bodies of work developed over the past seven years in the artist’s Maine studio. The new sculpture fuses the conceptual and humanistic sides of the artist’s work. The major work in the exhibition is a Human Structure, composed of 366 life-size galvanized steel genderless figures all interlocking together to form an organic, yet modular 44 x 11 foot and 18 foot tall freestanding structure. The exhibition also features a second large Human Structure, composed of several thousand colorful, translucent male and female polycarbonate figures again all connecting together to form a freestanding molecular-like spatial structure. The sculptural work is accompanied by an ambient-voice soundtrack, composed and produced by the artist in his music studio.
