new works by
Mike Libby
July 1 -30, 2005
Technology
in the hands of artists have always given them tools for expression of
ideas. Most times the technology is transparent as the artist merely uses
material for other subject matter, but in some cases it is the technology
itself that is the subject matter of the artist. Libby's well known works
with insects, where he has added mechanical watch gears and springs and
electronic components, underscores the juncture of nature and technology.
His new works use technological and scientific concepts as a springboard
for his imaginings as he remediates and re-evolves readymade and natural
objects into sculptural work. The resulting work is wondrous, fascinating
and healthy brain food. for more on Mike Libby and his insect assemblages
