Nancy Rubins @ Gagosian Gallery

“Diversifolia,” is an exhibition of new sculpture and drawings by Nancy Rubins, and her first solo exhibition in London.
Rubins transforms found objects and industrial refuse into expertly orchestrated abstractions that are fluid and rhizomatic in nature.  She employs a structural property called “tensegrity,” wherein individual parts are arranged in balanced compression and secured with tensile cables. Clusters of like objects—airplane parts, boats, carousel creatures, and more—seem to explode into space in all directions, propelled by their aggregated momentum.
