Newly opened at Pierogi's The Boiler -- Nov. 14, 2014 -- "Valence"

Installation shots from the current exhibition to tackle the many-stories-high, raw, industrial space of Brooklyn Pierogi Gallery's "The Boiler": Herzog's Valence.

To get a sense of scale, and the complexity of the layers, see below.

Herzog mounts this ambitious exhibition in tandem with artist Linda Herritt. Press release excerpt:

Over the last two decades, Elana Herzog has been the subject of museum surveys and solo exhibitions in over twenty cities in the U.S. and Europe. “Valence” is one of her single most ambitious projects to date. It was begun during a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in which the artist immersed herself in the legacy of the Bauhaus. "I'm particularly inspired by intrepid Anni Albers, who expressed so much through textile design and weaving," says Herzog. "She made the most of what she had, at a time when other more 'fine-art' related materials were off limits due to her gender."
...
To better implement this abstract mise-en-scene on such a large scale, Herzog first plotted out individual sections in AutoCad, fabricated them in her studio, and later transferred them (with a week's worth of hands-on labor) on to the site. As a result, virtual and physical labor become indistinguishable in this intersection of soft (pink) textile, industrial hardware (areas of metal that are several stories high), and 1,600 square feet of terra-cotta brick.
