Surface Deposit
New Work by Lead Pencil Studio
December 1, 2010 - February 26, 2011
Surface Deposit is the first Philadelphia exhibition of Lead Pencil Studio, a Seattle-based collaboration between Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo. Extending from a traditional training in architecture, Lead Pencil Studio works across multiple disciplines to explore spatial conditions, material, and form through large-scale installations. Surface Deposit is an exhibition of fragmented sculptural assemblages based on the analysis and research of digital data collected by a 3-dimensional laser over several months during the summer of 2010. Incorporating various materials, including remnants from Tyler School of Art's former campus in Elkins Park, PA, Lead Pencil Studio will explore notions of accumulation through elements of architecture that are not inherent to a structure's original design. Their practice is self-described as "architecture in reverse...our projects are everything about architecture with none of its function...spaces with no greater purpose than to be perceived and question the certainty posited by the man-made world."
Please note that Temple Gallery will be open by appointment only during winter break from December 22 - January 8.
Temple Gallery is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Friends of Temple Gallery.
