Litanies

Litanies at Pallas
1111 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA

Reception May 30, 5-9
Open Saturday and Sunday through June 8, or by appt.

Litanies is a presentation of furniture and sculptural work using techniques Ajl has developed over several years, specifically using unconventional materials and applications.

Featuring wood, metal and glassworks, Litanies explores the exchange between the orthogonal and the organic, edge and expanse, the rhythms of repetition and fugitive lines of chance. Grids and meshes define the forms of chairs, table, cabinetry, the molds for glass cups, and lighting that occupy the gallery space. In attending the dissonance and harmonies within the process, Ajl brings the fixed pattern of the grid into dialogue with the flowing organic nature of his applications, generating new lines of inquiry. This call and response turns the pieces into places of possibility, setting the stage for works that have not yet appeared.

Litanies will also feature live soundscaping by Chris Kallmyer, a musician and founder of Furniture Music, a studio that explores the poetic and political possibilities of sound in architecture and everyday life

Wine by Broc Cellars.
