Adam Feibelman, "All You Can Eat"

Electric Works opens a new chapter in its history with its inaugural show in our new space with a solo show by Adam Feibelman. Our brother in all things paper, Feibelman’s tough-as-nails dollhouse-like constructions redefine “intricate” for Websters, the OED, and everyone else. These cut paper pieces break the second dimension and seemingly come to life on their detailed, improvisational fields. Biographic, political, and personal, these complex constructions belie their humble material. Feibelman has created a new series of wildly colored small works that serve as an exuberant and untamed cure for the four white walls in our intimate gallery. These works are tooth-achingly appealing, but don’t let the color and improvisation fool you—engage Feibelman in conversation about the stories behind the stories and you’ll get an earful about politics, injustice, social studies and personal history. They’re fun, they’re complicated, they’re the best example of visual synesthesia I’ve seen.
