In this virtual discussion with RU guest curator Lilia Kudelia, Damir Sobota reflects on the adaptability of his graphic works to space and his motivation to uncover his paper collage technique in newly produced cardboard sculptures that he realized during his residency in New York.
In this pop up show, RU is proud to present a series of works by the Croatian artist in residence Damir Sobota. They include a deep blue saturated serigraph series which will be hung alongside a GIF projection, as well as new objects realized by the artist on found cardboard which he intervenes upon with acrylic and paper collage technique. Sobota’s algorithmic approach is further systematized by taking into account the space in which works are developed- in this instance the Artist Alliance Inc. studio which Sobota occupied in May.
