Part of her solo show at Black & White‘s great Williamsburg back lot this is “Future Mountain” (2008). I lived next door to Kim in Bushwick and she built a mini-version of this plastic bag range (it was really a wall) in the hallway between our lofts.
She made it green and lush-seeming, almost tropical. This formation feels colder and more remote, kind of what I expect Utah to feel like. I haven’t been back to see it after the opening but I’m itching to see it before it comes down in late May.

Interesting. I’d like to learn how Kim Holleman has crafted plastic bags into a sculptural medium. Some artists use plastic bags to paint on like canvas, manipulating the surface to create an impasto-like effect.
