Alter Space is pleased to present Triple Take, an exhibition of new works by Seth Curcio, Bean Gilsdorf, and Julie Henson. Combining image reproduction with the presentational systems of sculpture and stagecraft, all three artists produce work that explores the distance between a representation and its cultural reality. From Curcio’s recreations of areas normally inaccessible to vision, to Gilsdorf’s textile-based redeployment of well-known historical figures, to Henson’s staging of images of American ideology, these works recontextualize cultural icons and communicate their symbolic power, showing an incisive understanding of how an image can shape collective experience and cultural memory.
