Johansson Projects: Outpost - David Hamill and Jeff Konigsberg

Review by John Casey: According to the press release, "Outpost probes the imaginary and illusory properties of architecture. David Hamill's fragmented constructions burst from their core, propagate from the ceiling, through the walls and across the central gallery, exploring how we manifest ourselves through architectural forms. With both drawings and installation, Hamill dissects architecture with his massive, gentle geometries that swell and bulge against conventional notions of structure and function. Futuristic landscapes are unearthed in Jeff Konigsberg's intricate drawings where the horizon line functions as a unifying element, employing it as both a visual rest space and as metaphor for escape, aspiration, and resolution. His electric-hued panoramas seem to mirror the snaking, maze-like quality of computer cable wires and sockets, suggesting the hidden arteries of built structures." As far as I'm concerned, that pretty much nails it.
