For his inaugural solo exhibition in New York, Amir Badawi fills the gallery with colorful metal wire installations, stone sculptures, ink drawings, useless lists, and pulsing beacons of light.  These works are the result of intuitive improvisation and Badawi’s latent obsession with iterative processes and repetitive patterns.  Focusing on the natural form of kinetic curves and methodical nonsense this show engages viewers in a playful yet suspicious way.  Will this wire come loose and poke my eye out?  Is it really ok to touch this?  Does anything in the universe have meaning?  Maybe!  Either way there will be beer.
