UNBORN

Documentation of UNBORN, a site-specific installation by Zac Hacmon at mh PROJECT nyc. mh PROJECT nyc describes the show as follows: "Created during his 2018-19 LMCC Workspace residency, the artist’s curious structures explore the realms of conflict, duality, placelessness and identity while questioning the role of society’s reliance on modular industrial objects. Using architecture as a mediator, Hacmon’s vessels violate the gallery space by blurring the boundaries between public and private spheres.

Hinged upon the concept of the in-between, Hacmon considers his works to be functional structures as opposed to passive sculptures. His Capsules, which are part of an ongoing series, perform like functional devices that bridge space. Comprised of 16” x 16” modular squares—a standard size for architectural parts like ceiling or floor tiles—each vessel can be likened to what the artist calls a “fake readymade” given their close resemblance to a product."
