SLEEP CENTER x STANDARD PRACTICE x UNBAG is extremely proud to present new work by Sofia Quirno.
Sofia Quirno is an Argentinian born artist currently working in New York City. Her practice has its roots in painting and drawing, but has evolved to respond to the spaces in which she works, becoming a combination of painting in the expanded field, site specific installation and a remnant of performance, the act of making on-site.
Taking her cues from the physical realities of a place, she creates a space of potentials, of unreality, of magic time. Layers of memory, layers of fantasy, layers of narrative are worked into surfaces, onto objects, projected, formed with detritus. Experiences from decades ago are combined with impressions from moments ago to form a vibrating and telescopic notion of time and narrative.
Sunny Side Up is an acceptance of both the space and the new beginning it offers. Working without preconceived concepts but the ever-flowing idea of the everyday. Sunny Side Up, is Quirnos “American” morning, a fresh start and a space for new possibilities. Quirno is the yoke in the white cube.
