A+D AND TATAR GALLERYtartar.jpg

UPCYCLING: Recuperating Past Lives. Tatar Gallery and the Architecture and Design Museum of Los Angeles are pleased to present Upcycling: Recuperating Past Lives, an exhibition that examines the use of rehabilitated materials in the context of art and design.

The exhibition contends with artists and designers whose work transforms, re-uses, reclaims, rehabilitates, recycles, transmutes, co-opts, appropriates, and converts found and manufactured materials, remnants, and existing objects into sculptural and installation work indebted to the innovation of design. The emphasis of Upcycling: Recuperating Past Lives is on sculptural work that mobilizes design principles towards the re-interpretation of space, use, and the object. The artists included in this exhibition are Canadian artists Dennis Lin, Kathryn Walter, Aurora Robson, Yvonne Ip, and Liz Wolfe; collaborators Andra Hayward, Shannon Linde and Christina Ott, and David Chang; and American artists Devorah Sperber, Chris Natrop, Tara Donovan, Joe Davidson and designer Gregg Lynn; British artist Susie MacMurray; and Brazilian designers The Campanas Brothers. Whether it is with humor, irony, experiment, or critique, their compelling practices explore the residual lives of objects and materials as they are transposed and reinvented into unique sculptural contexts. While the modernist creed has traditionally sought to deny all traces of the social through the irrefutable elevation of the formal, these contemporary artists focus on the intrinsically social suggestion of their materials through a variety of recuperative approaches.
