Here’s to looking up at Jacob Hashimoto‘s immersive exhibition at the Miles McEnery Gallery in New York. The Disappointment Engine exhibit features eleven sculptural pieces made up of viruses, stained-glass windows, Atari circuit-board patterns, and leaf structures. Hashimoto explores what it means to build an understanding of oneself through the investigation of radio telescopes as well as the architecture of churches and mosques built during plagues among other elements. These forces combined with his loose reference of East Asian craft traditions filled the gallery from wall to wall forcing viewers to duck, sidestep, and recalibrate when viewing the art.
