Gyula Kosice: Intergalactic Opening

Coming to Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) this spring, Gyula Kosice: Intergalactic is a large-scale celebration of the works of the experimental Argentine artist, sculptor, poet, and theorist. The exhibition marks the first time such a complete survey of Kosice’s works has been presented outside Argentina. The exhibition is comprised of 60 three-dimensional kinetic sculptures made of acrylic materials, air pumps, water, light components, and neon gas tubes.

Intergalactic focuses on Kosice’s experimental production, in which motion was a constant and essential feature. The large-scale survey includes works that the artist created between 1950 and 1980, such as acrylic sculptures, kinetic reliefs, and drops of water, most of which incorporated lights and were activated by aerators and motors. In exploring how science fiction and architecture can be utilized in art to address issues of climate change and socioeconomic inequality, Intergalactic is particularly salient at a moment when conversations surrounding environmental issues are being blotted out.
