Curated by artist Urs Fischer and developed in collaboration with Dia Art Foundation, THE TIGHTER THEY’RE WOUND, THE HARDER THEY UNRAVEL adopts Chamberlain’s embrace of discovery and intuitive approach to scale, fit, and attachment. The exhibition features his widely recognized sculptures made from crushed automobile parts, materials the artist continually revisited throughout his career, as well as other bodies of work, ranging in scale from monumental to miniature, and composed of foam, foil, resin, paper, air ducts and dismantled appliances, amongst others. “The key activity in the occupation of art,” remarked Chamberlain, “is to find out what you don’t know.”
