MW: In Process

This Friday Meet Waradise is Andres Laracuente + Julia Weist.

In Process is a temporary installation of incomplete, project-based works by Andres Laracuente and Julia Weist. The pieces on view are enriched by a shared notion of sculpture as an open process in which a work may be simultaneously unfinished and whole. Both artists are also invested in themes of transparency: Laracuente's piece is a receptive object and Weist's project is a documentary collection.
