Karen Bausman: Envisioning the Wall
Manhattan’s 1811 Planning Commission gridded over timeworn Manhattan byways in a march toward orderly development. On the eve of the Commission’s work, Karen Bausman posits the question: without the geometry it imposed, what would navigation here be like? What if today’s routes from point to point were vastly more open-ended?
Bausman’s large-scale public installation The Wall Project invites spectators to engage such questions physically. The artist’s preliminary body of cut-paper assemblages and drawings questions the very notion what it is to occupy a space.
