Magnan Metz Gallery is pleased to announce its summer exhibition 
Destination Unknown. On view June 27-July 25, 2014, with an opening 
reception on Thursday, June 26th from 6-8 pm.
               
In the spirit and tradition of summertime wanderlust Destination Unknown is a 
group exhibition that features work sculpted from each of the artist's unique 
travels.  A compilation that comes together to form a temporal dialog via a 
selection of interdisciplinary media ascribing meaning through literal, 
imaginary and theoretical platforms. 
 
As the tour begins the aqueous concept of home is addressed. In his piece 
Home, Miler Lagos transforms a singular water tower into retreat that rests 
upon an azure bed of water and sky.  Continuing onto painterly waves of 
glossy pigment, viewers experience the choppy waters of Puerto Rican born 
Sofia Maldonado's Youkali II.  Drawing from her roots, the traditional tropical 
landscape is transformed into moody pools of color. Japanese artist Maya 
Onoda captures a moment of reflection in the delicate forms of Lobster. 
Inspired by her everyday life Onoda uses string, watercolor, and coffee to 
create a multi-dimensional surface punctuated by sewn detail.
 
Leading the dialog into new territory is digital media artist Anne Spalter.  Her 
video Sky of Dubai takes visitors on a hallucinatory bird's eye tour with a 
mesmerizing series of kaleidoscopic patterns. Furthering the sense of cerebral 
disorientation is Arrechea's video Atardecer, or Sunset with distant helicopters 
buzzing around a palm tree against a setting sun is an invitation to 
contemplate the cause and effect of surveillance in an anonymous landscape 
of suspicion.
