Lena Lapschina. Before I Start
Solo exhibition
16.03.2013 - 16.04.2013
Helmuth Projects, San Diego / United States
Lena used a pencil to trace the shadows from the sun through the front of the gallery on her first day in residence. It was 2pm on the last afternoon of Daylight Saving Time. She worked quickly to capture the moment and spent the rest of the week manipulating red duct tape to compose the 15' drawing. The result was a beautifully graphic site-specific installation and a fitting first effort at our new location.
The work continued to evolve during Lena’s stay, influenced by the cumulative experience of exploring San Diego.... One wall held two parallel lengths of white tape that documented an overheard conversation shouted from opposing sides of a downtown street.
Before I Start was an observant installation. It was like seeing somebody see your hometown for the very first time.
