Day & Night Projects is proud to present a solo exhibition by Atlanta artist Sergio Suárez. To be accompanied by the sound of water uses the language of printmaking, sculpture, and installation in a dreamy pursuit of the Spanish word debrayar. This word has no textual translation to English, but it approaches the process where one loses the sense of time. With chalk and oil pastels, Suárez rubs over Japanese mulberry paper to pick up textures from his large woodcut blocks, pulling details from the unseen print works. These elements float and knock around, forgetting their origins as they trace out new arrangements, new translations of words that don’t quite match up. The atmosphere of the rubbings is transformed in two sculptural installations—stone, mirror, and wood feel both earth-grounded and cosmic at the same time.
To be accompanied by the sound of water will be on view September 25–October 17. Gallery hours are 12–5pm Fridays and Saturdays, or by appointment. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Day & Night Projects will implement the following precautions to limit transmission of the virus: No opening reception will be held.
