4Most Gallery

Join us for the FINAL 4Most exhibition of the season next Friday, May 29 from 6 – 8 pm for the duo exhibition, “Loading Proxies….” by Lindsay Carlton and Komal Goswami!

“Loading Proxies…” is a duo exhibition between artists exploring the proxy as both embodied and simulated.

Lindsay Carlton: My work utilizes self-portrait photography as a method of avatar performance, where I use my own body as a tool to construct and perform characters that are separate from myself; proxies rather than representations of my own identity. Through these works, I explore how femininity is performed through digital media, cinema, and the history of visual culture. Throughout my work, I also remix and reference existing imagery from popular culture, using these visual languages to construct my characters. The works exist in the tension between seduction and abjection, where femininity is both performed and distorted, exposing the constructed nature of idealized beauty.

Komal Goswami: My work employs 3D/CG generation, creative coding, and digital imaging processes to further investigate “living in the hyphen” culturally and tangibly, exploring the evolving landscape of human expression, meaning, and thought within an increasingly digitally assimilated world. These works emerge from experimentation with the detachment of the self through busts that are 3D-rendered, 3D-animated, or digitally replicated. Using my own likeness and animal-based mythic forms as source material, and referencing both Hindu and Western portrait conventions, I create abstract self-portraiture and portrait forms that deny autobiography. Instead, these figures – suspended between portrait, avatar, idol, and simulation – operate as provisional proxies through which identity and embodiment are continuously generated, processed, and displaced between the “reel” and the “real” world.

Join us this Friday, February 27 from 6 – 8 pm for the solo exhibition, “Woven Continuum” by Changil Kim!

Statement from the artist:

Changil Kim explores the relationship between line and weaving through sculpture, investigating mass, tension, and void in relation to memory and rhythm. Working in three-dimensional space, he constructs continuously spreading woven structures that build tension between line (wire) and emptiness, forming new spatial configurations. Drawing inspiration from the practices of Gego and Ruth Asawa, he reimagines what sculpture can be and what line can do in space. Using steel frameworks and woven wire, he develops sculptural metaphors that occupy space.

The work shifts between frame and surface. Across the openings, planes of woven aluminum wire appear—some pulled tight like a mat, others open, as if the weave loosened and started to breathe. Light passes through these areas and turns them into changing screens: dense sections cast soft, grid-like shadows, while sparse ones barely interrupt the white wall behind. The artwork emphasizes the time and labor inherent in craft, drawing attention to investments that are often overlooked or undervalued, while underscoring the importance of craft, its cultural and traditional significance within a place, and its ability to shape one’s cultural identity. By bringing craft-based work into a fine art context, he wants his artworks to be an experience of spatial writing and cross-cultural dialogues.
