Russell Maltz: Painted/Stacked Oaxaca MINUS SPACE
Museo de los Pintores Oaxaqueños (MUPO)
Independencia 607, Centro
Oaxaca, México, CP 68000
For the past thirty years, Russell Maltz (b. 1952, Brooklyn, NY, USA) has produced sculpture and installations informed by the aesthetics of construction. Made with a broad array of unrefined construction materials, including sheets of plywood and glass, wall studs, lumber, and enamel paint, Maltz’s installations are immersive environments that are carefully composed, although informal in appearance. Geometric in composition, high-keyed in color, and matter-of-fact in execution, individual art works are commonly subsumed into larger configurations, often overlapping and obscuring each other. His installations merge the space between two, three, and four dimensions and do away with any separation between object and space, artwork and the viewer.
