Marianne Boesky Gallery’s new exhibition, Model ___, will open on November 16. The exhibit will showcase the solo work of artist Dashiell Manley, for the third time in the gallery’s history. Model___ tries to make sense of the world by exploring life through Manley’s lenses. To do so, the artist works with his emotions thanks to four different techniques: through thoughts, ideals, architecture and spatial models, and through personifying citizens in society. Each piece of art represents the different stages of the artist’s creative process as well as the multifaceted aspect of his mind.
The 39-year-old Dashiell Manley lives in Los Angeles but is of Japanese American origins. Los Angeles, New York, Brussels, Stanford University and Manila in the Philippines, are just some of the many destinations where his art has been exhibited.
The exhibition is made up of three distinct panels. The three panels are all fundamental in order to understand the artistic vision of Model___. As the Gallery explains, “together, the triptychs develop a circadian rhythm that breathes life into the work, three panels that usher the viewer from one moment to the next, leading viewers back to the beginning.”
At the gallery’s 507 West 24th Street location.
