“Sometimes We Seek, Sometimes We Find”
This exhibition marks the second collaboration between MASA and Luhring Augustine, opening on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, and remaining on view through March 29.
This collection stands as a testament to the design activity as a constant act of observation. This series invites reflection on the interplay between intention and accident, precision and imperfection, order and chaos, planning and observation.
The exercise highlights how the unforeseen can serve as a source of inspiration and how discovery can create new paths or evolve into new expressions—sometimes arising from a simple act of reassignment. Possibilities already exist, waiting to be revealed or discovered.
A visit to the workshop, in this case a foundry, unveils unexpected forms and textures in the casting process. The collection’s physical manifestation echoes this philosophy. Crafted through the foundational principles of the casting process, the works express its most basic state—intricate yet unpredictable. Each sculpture embodies the essence of its making.
“Sometimes We Seek, Sometimes We Find” also reflects the transition from nothingness to form—an alchemical transformation where raw materials are imbued with meaning.
The collection celebrates the act of reflection—on both the material and the immaterial—capturing the essence of metal. This discovery and newfound intention manifest as a mirror; in this way, each piece becomes a metaphor for self-discovery, where the act of looking reveals not only the external form but also the internal journey of creation and understanding.
Ultimately, this collection reminds us that creation is not always about achieving a predefined intention. It centers on observing a path, an unforeseen possibility—with all its disruptions and revelations—and finding meaning in both the expected and the unexpected.
