MadArt presents Aperture, a sculptural installation by New York-based artist Ian McMahon. Upon entering the space, visitors encounter an assemblage of 15-foot-tall, billowing, pillow-like structures that directly respond to the studio’s architecture by paralleling the mezzanine and expanding from its center aisle. The work is comprised of over 5,000 pounds of cast plaster and corralled by large wooden beams. Unlike any of McMahon’s previous works, Aperture incorporates an interior viewing corridor that provides visitors a unique look into the complex engineering involved in the fabrication process. In giving viewers a perspective that visually contradicts the work’s malleable exterior, McMahon aims to disintegrate material assumptions and disrupt the familiarity of spatial memory.
“Most of us are so focused on our goals and where we need to go, we rarely take a moment to do something for others. Just. Because. Doing something nice for others, without an agenda, simply feels good.” – National Today
Spreading kindness and caring for others can be found at every level of the Guardian Team and they are excited to continue their history of giving through the Halo Project.
At Guardian Home, we find great importance in giving back to the community that has given us so much already. That is why we have come up with the Halo Project, where we accept nominations from around our community of those in need of a new roof. After narrowing it down to the most desperate neighbor in need, our team volunteers their time on a Saturday to come out and replace or repair the recipient's roof – free of cost and no strings attached!
Nominations for the 2020 Halo Project will open up on December 3rd and run until January 31st. A winner will be announced shortly after February 4th!
