(Drivebycuriosity) - Mirrors can create amazing effects. I saw this again in an exhibition @ gallery James Cohan on Manhattan´s Grand Street. They had a show with works by Josiah McElheny ( jamescohan). The show was called "Libraries", which is a reference to Jorge Luis Borges` famous short story "The Library of Babel".
The press release explains, " for this exhibition, McElheny has altered the existing architecture of the Lower East Side gallery to echo the hexagonal structures described by Borges. Installed across the walls within the space are six elegant, glazed wood frames that each provide a window into interior, mirrored spaces that create an effect of limitless expansiveness “behind and beyond” the surface of the wall"
