In a new body of sculptural work, documented in \u003ci\u003eDami�n Ortega: Reading Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e, the artist turns his deconstructive impulses toward natural, geologic forms. Inspired by ideas of \"deep time,\" a geological concept of how the earth documents its own history in layers of rock deposited over some 4.6 billion years, Ortega explores how basic concepts of geology--like the phenomenon of sedimentary layers--can be used as a formal approach to making sculpture. \u003ci\u003eDami�n Ortega: Reading Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e, published to accompany the artist's first solo show in Korea, includes an interview with the artist conducted by Clara Kim and a text by Gabriel Kuri.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kukje Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780574265495,"sku":"9788992233729","price":3454.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788992233729.webp?v=1778046289","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/damian-ortega-reading-landscapes-9788992233729","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
