Diego Perrone “Self Portraits and Herbivorous Carnivorous” at Casey Kaplan, New York

This exhibition, "Self Portrait and Herbivorous Carnivorous," is demonstrative of the Horlik reading from this week. In it, Horlik talks about the difference between two-dimensional art and three-dimensional art. While two-dimensional art creates an image projected between the surface and the eye, three-dimensional art is an object taking up literal space. In her section on Painting plus Ceramic Sculpture, she discusses how placing both dimensions together provides a new context for both works and widens our field of view. In the image above, The three-dimensional piece disrupts the image being created between the painting and our eye, giving us an entirely different view of the painting itself. The context changes based on where one stands in the exhibit and how they process this juxtaposition.
