A Room With Many Views
Internationally known sculptor Jene Highstein stands inside his Room with Ten Doors installation at the Joseloff Gallery. The room was a model for a large-scale sculpture that would be three to five times larger. Highstein said the work represents his continued involvement over two decades with a vocabulary of forms that share an affinity with the natural landscape as well as architecture. Highsteins sculpture has been the subject of more than 100 one-person and group exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad.
Each scene as viewed through the doorways and the open roof of the Jene Highstein installation Room with Ten Doors is different and fluid. The exhibition at the Joseloff Gallery, which ran from April 12 to May 31, was composed of two separate yet related piecesa wall 35 feet long by 10 feet high and a small passageway leading to the elliptically shaped, stucco-walled room measuring 7 feet tall by 24 feet long. Highstein said the two structures are linked by scale and the transformation of space.
