Paula Schubatis | Ergo <ITSELF> Solo Exhibition from I.M. Weiss Gallery

Ergo ITSELF is more than an exhibition, it is a journey through all the facets of Schubatis’ practice and together we designed the visual and immersive experience as a single artwork in, and of, itself: ergo, itself.

By blurring the boundaries between the installation/environment, the object and "itself" (the individual), Schubatis creates a total immersive experience that reflects the nature of the individual objects she creates. Schubatis creates each object to decode certain structures we impose on our space and ourselves - even in language and mathematics - and to encode connectivity as a form of communication.

This concept is not only communicated through form but also through materiality as the majority of materials Schubatis engages are found - from recycled textiles, to reclaimed objects such as shoe laces, caution tape, Ikea bags, hardware supplies etc.
