NEW YORK—Robert Buck employed cast-off construction materials, desert finds, repurposed drawings and the signatures of gallery patrons for a series of works at CRG Gallery. “Robert Buck: Kahpenakwu,” the name means “West” in Comanche, includes assemblages, sculpture, paintings and drawings.
One piece stands out in the gallery. “the crossing over and/or the crossing out,” bridges rustic and hi-tech. Composed of discarded metal and seed pods on a cinder-block base, its Plexiglass surface references the black gorilla glass screens on iPhones and iPads.
The exhibit is on view from Jan. 12 to Feb. 18, 2012.
