Lehmann Maupin presents Peak, an exhibition of new works by Tony Oursler, on view at 201 Chrystie Street, 7 October - 4 December 2010. Peak continues the artist's exploration into the ways in which technology affects the human psyche. Focusing on humankind's obsessive relationship to computers and other virtual platforms, the works in this exhibition are microcosmic scenes that convey the varied nature of these relationships, such as obsession, escapism, isolation and sexual fetish. The installations reference dynamic systems and models, such as flowcharts, Rube Goldberg machines and astronomical orreries. Oursler's projections combine glass, clay, steel and other raw materials with a synthesis of performance language and rhythmic editing.
