The Clark | Tauba Auerbach & Yuji Agematsu: Meander

Associate Curator of Contemporary Projects Robert Wiesenberger presents the opening lecture of the exhibition Tauba Auerbach and Yuji Agematsu: Meander. For Auerbach (b. 1981, San Francisco; lives and works in New York), this twisting, self-avoiding line traces global traditions of ornament as much as physical waveforms and space-filling curves in geometry. For Agematsu (b. 1956, Kanagawa, Japan, lives and works in New York) and his practice of walking, collecting, and archiving, meander implies drift, both his own paths through New York City and those of other people and things. Both artists study the rules that govern flows of matter and energy in the universe, between chaos and order, intuition and analysis, the minute and the massive.
