Post Times is pleased to present Material Instinct, a group exhibition of fourteen artists whose work emerges from an eccentric material approach, often rooted in idiosyncratic yet rigorous processes developed by each artist. The formally inventive works exhibit a haptic intelligence through meticulous craftsmanship in materials such as woven cane, salvaged fabric, plywood, moulding, cardboard, steel, yarn, seashells, clay, and more.
The abstract sculptures and reliefs in the exhibition quietly connote everyday sources, existing in a delicate tension between familiarity and enigma—testimonies to memory and material life. At times, the works evoke both the spiritual and the domestic, inviting viewers to consider how ordinary matter might carry latent histories, sacred significance, and sculptural intrigue through its alchemical remaking.
Featuring works by Amy Stober, Michael Bala, Ara Peterson, Greg Carideo, Matt Paweski, Florence Carr, Richard Rezac, Austin Ballard, Graham Collins, Lukas Geronimas, Michaela Bathrick, Blinn and Lambert, Steph Gonzalez-Turner, and Miranda Fengyuan Zhang.
