Daniel Rozin at Bitforms Chelsea

I arrived at 529 West 20th a Chelsea building filled with galleries not knowing what to expect. I was looking for Bitforms, a gallery dedicated to digital artwork. As I perused around the building I saw many spaces that featured video art and other multimedia works. When I finally found the gallery I encountered two works by Daniel Rozin. The first work I experienced was Rust Mirror. I stepped onto a gravel platform and walked towards a panel gridded by earth-toned squares. The crunching of the gravel heightened the delicate interaction between myself and the panel. As my body swayed and my weight shifted the wooden gridded squares flapped according to my movements. Every movement I made a different combination of rectangles flapped making me even more hyper aware of my body.

I suppose the second work was out of commission. What looked like blinds in a gridded format but it didn´t respond to movement like Rust Mirror. I think it might have been off?
I read that there was supposed to be a third but it was nowhere to be found

After seeing the show I did some research on Rozin´s work and I found this quote in his artist statement.

“Logically speaking, the grid extends, in all directions, to infinity. Any boundaries imposed upon it by a given painting or sculpture can only be seen – according to this logic – as arbitrary. By virtue of the grid, the given work of art is presented as a mere fragment, a tiny piece arbitrarily cropped from an infinitely larger fabric. Thus the grid operates from the work of art outward, compelling our acknowledgement of a world beyond the frame.”
– Rosalind Krauss, Grids, 1978

His use of the grid reminded of Gabriel Orozco who I had just seen at The MoMa.
In both artists work I enjoyed the pairing of geometrical and mathematical shapes that correspond to organic forms and notions.
