DAWIT L. PETROS
Curated by Sally Frater
Mahber Shaw’ate (Association of 7)
April 20 – June 2, 2012
Opening Reception: Friday March 9th, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Mahber Shaw’ate (Association of 7), are photographs of temporary installations that investigate permutational possibilities and the disjuncture between physical and abstract materiality. The works appropriate the framework of an east African alphabet script (Tigrinya, Petros’ first language) and cardboard boxes. Petros integrates performative strategies, sculpture, and installation with legacies of studio and landscape imagery. The arrangements were constructed in locations ranging from Santa Barbara, California; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Nazareth, Ethiopia.
