The Shape of Light: Gabriel Dawe

September 19, 2015 ‑ January 10, 2016

The Newark Museum of Art presents The Shape of Light: Gabriel Dawe, featuring large-scale, site-specific installations, sculptural works and works on paper by internationally known multi-media artist Gabriel Dawe.

Born and raised in Mexico City and now based in Dallas, Dawe creates site-specific environments from colored thread that explore connections between textiles, architecture and the human body. For The Shape of Light, he will create two temporary large-scale installations, Plexus no. 30 and Plexus no. 31, which will engage with The Newark Museum of Art’s historical architectural spaces, taking over the main galleries for the run of the exhibition.
