P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents an exhibition of the sculptor Ricky Swallow, the representative of the Australian pavilion at the 2005 Venice Biennial. This is the first survey of Swallow's work in a U.S. museum.
Renowned for their footing in personal memory and pop iconography, Swallow's wood sculptures and carvings bridge the gap between monumentality and the everyday; tradition and disposability. His work focuses on themes at the heart of this exercise: the passage of time, immortality and mortality, evolution and survival.
