This solo exhibition occurred at Friedman Benda Gallery in New York in 2016. From the more obscure side of Marcel Wanders’ come imaginary characters interacting within a distorted fairytale woven through an intense, dark narrative. ‘Dysmorphophobia 1, 2 and 3’ – large abstract figural mirrors carved to create illusionary ghostly figures. ‘Self 2’ is a steel cabinet and kinetic piece, balancing an ovoid form that reminds of a human head rocking on the top surface. ‘Tempter’ is an oversized bronze adult rocking unicorn with metal chain stirrups. ‘Shiqule Nuhai’, two monumentally tall ceramic vases, reference Marcel Wanders’ Delft Blue collection with a darker sensibility, using black glaze. The show also features Marcel Wanders’ ‘Phoebe Lamps’ – the ultimate statement of objectification-, and his series of video works ‘Virtual Interiors’ and the newly ‘Athanasius’.
