Artist Talk: Gedi Sibony
- to This is a past program
Gedi Sibony often uses basic found materials associated with architecture or construction, including drywall, wood, cardboard, paint, and carpet. Hung from ceilings, draped over doorways, slumped or leaned against walls, Sibony’s work is as much about its arrangement in space as it is about the objects themselves. Sibony alters our perception of our surroundings, encouraging us to view both the spaces that we occupy and the materials used to make them in a different way.
