5, 7, 9, 11, 13 is a group exhibition with sculptures and drawings by Walter De Maria, Jasper Marsalis, Park McArthur, and Sung Tieu. The show’s title comes from the work by De Maria, which comprises nine stainless steel polygonal rods that are each either 5-, 7-, 9-, 11-, or 13-sided. Though their approaches differ, each artist’s work references systems of measurement and mechanisms of control, whether musical, mathematical, or spatial. Centering on themes of causality and performance, the selection of works allows for the reexamination of the personal and social structures that inform everyday experiences. All four artists have incorporated sound into their practice at some point. This connection is underscored with a sound piece program presented during the course of the exhibition.
