TAUBA AUERBACH

Of the material, Tauba has said: “Foam often exists at an edge, like the edge of the ocean or the edge of a glass. It’s the unruly boundary between two domains (liquid and air), where order in the traditional sense breaks down, and a new type of organization emerges. There is no grid, no overarching structure or repeating pattern, but instead, a set of tendencies causing certain geometric relationships to arise and recur.”

The exhibition also includes groups of photographs recording hot and cold currents of water with a heat-sensitive camera attachment. Presented in a new, small format and primarily in black and white, they reveal variations and movements invisible to the naked eye. Crystalline, stochastic sounds are produced by glass chimes suspended around the gallery. Finally, pairs of moving sculptures gently rotate in relation to one another.

Across these works, turbulence takes a fruitful and coordinated form.
