Press Release
COOPER COLE is pleased to present a two-person exhibition of new paintings, wall works, and sculptures by Antonia Kuo and Douglas Rieger. The artists cultivate a reciprocal dialogue between material and form, exploring the threshold between organic, mechanized, and bodily systems. Their works navigate the residue of production and the entropic cycles of creation and collapse, reimagining natural and architectural systems through processes of collage, repetition, and transformation.
Rooted in a shared history of American postindustrial decay, with Kuo’s family having worked in the copper mines of Butte, Montana and Rieger’s family in the coal mines of Pittsburgh, the artists transform remnants of damaged land and infrastructure into sites of poetic reconstruction. The tactile treatment of their materials and the reconfiguration of discarded and manufactured objects evoke the language of industry, the traces of memory, and the persistence of touch.
