Brian Thoreen: Non-Zero-Sum

On February 8, MASA gallery celebrates a new permanent space in Mexico City with a solo exhibition by artist and designer Brian Thoreen, on view through April 8. “Non-Zero-Sum” is composed of ten functional and six non-functional works which creatively experiment with form, shape, and usage. Large-scale candles of raw cast beeswax appear tactile and animalistic, while a chair of decadently stacked neoprene is sumptuous and earthy. A series of artworks convey secret binary codes in smudged charcoal markings on paper. Continuing his investigation of static and kinetic universal laws, Thoreen gracefully explores gravity, dislocation, and perception.
