Dan Herschlein: The Architect

Exhibition Website

Sep 4 2018 - Jan 6 2019

New Museum

New York City, NY

His often life-size sculptural and relief works are meticulously crafted using cast plaster as well as common carpentry and furniture-making materials such as wood, joint compound, and wax. The fragmented spaces he creates suggest the uncanny atmosphere of nightmares, merging markers of domesticity—sofas, tables, recliners, and windows—with human figures or wandering body parts to underscore how furniture, architecture, and bodies can all serve as vessels of memory and witnesses of loss.

Herschlein will present a new installation in the window of the New Museum’s 231 Bowery building.
