Oscar Tuazon - New Home

$100.00

New Home, 2024

Inkjet print on paper
8.5 x 11 Inches

I often use the tools of architecture to create sculpture, and the technique of stick framing is probably the most common construction technology in North America, so it is interesting to me as a kind of language with a syntax, grammatical laws, and a level of legibility that registers and communicates the tectonic principles of a building. Within an exhibition, all of the infrastructural problems of architecture have already been solved, so it is redundant or even impossible to really show architecture in this setting-- but it is possible to use the particular conditions of the exhibition space as a space of projection, a model space. To me, applying the language of framing to the practice of sculpture is a way to propose new typologies of building, new forms.

The prints are editioned by limited time, available only from October 15 - December 15, 2025. After this date, this image will not be made available in this format again.
