LIKE A BUCKET OF HERBS BEFORE A PRESSING :: Recent Works by Craig Kaths

11.17.18 – 12.29.18
Opening :: Saturday, November 17, 2018, 7-9PM

Tempus Projects presents Like a bucket of herbs before a pressing, a solo exhibition featuring the work of New York-based artist Craig Kaths. Through meticulous, hand-crafted labor incorporating organic bent-wood components, burnt drawings, and exploded schematic diagrams referencing sound equipment and musical instruments, Kaths’ sculptures and prints explore his focus on the audible and how the action of hearing shapes his life. Opening on Saturday, November 17th at Tempus Projects with a reception with the artist from 7-9pm, the exhibition will be on view from November 17 - December 29, 2018.

Presenting works with recognizable audible associations, realized through both analog and digital processes, Kaths invites a spirit of playfulness from the viewer while simultaneously creating depths of meaning using sub-cultural hip-hop references and influences, alluding to the banality of our pop music culture and its social connection to our society.
