Nendo at Saatchi Gallery: Thin Black Lines

Core-fave Nendo will be showing 29 new works at the Saatchi Gallery in an exhibition entitled Thin Black Lines, from September 20th through October 31st, accompanied by Blurry White Surfaces, a survey of recent work, at the Phillips de Pury & Company offices.

The new works, bent from solid tubular steel, explore a theme of "outlines," and sit somewhere between Donald Judd and Ron Gilad's Spaces, Etc.. In Nendo's project, he references Japanese calligraphy as abstractions of natural shapes.

The designs gently break the relationship of before and behind, and traverse at times the space between two and three dimensions. Multi-faceted and constantly morphing, they move alternately between the becoming and collapse of form.

Extensive imagery after the jump.
