We were amazed by these two sculptures showing last weekend at London Gallery Weekend, both seemingly held in suspension through incredible strategies of conjunction.
Bruce Nauman‘s silicon bronze hand sculpture is included in META VISCERAL, a group show at Lévy Gorvy, while Thaddeus Mosley’s beautifully chiselled wooden sculpture is showing at Maximillian William alongside the celebrated work of Magdalene Odundo and Simone Leigh.
