Young sculptor Damien Roach activates the ordinary in his insouciant works: he arranges books in a stack chromatically by the color of their spines, or carves the chipped paint on an upturned table to resemble circling gulls. At Ibid Projects, Roach continues to convert readymade objects into aesthetic ones. In the front room, he refracts the 1922 documentary of Inuit life Nanook of the North through a spinning crystal, accompanied by rainforest sounds, evoking the grand, naive days when natural-history museums would affirm the quaint existence of cultures outside our own. In the back, Roach's intuitive drawings and collages accompany Abundant Velocity — end tables stacked to form a ziggurat.
