Poncili Creacion’s Wearable and Interactive Sculptures

Collective Poncili Creacion combines puppetry, performance, and sculpture for odd, vibrant shows across the globe. The group, led by identical twins Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro, describes itself as facilitating “interactions between the fields of Objects and Reality.” In each of their projects, they refer to the wearable creatures and interactive sculptures they build as “objects.”

“Since 2012 they have been working with large-scale foam objects in the form of installations, sculptures and communication tools,” says Clocktower. “Their sculptures and installations are always accompanied by a performatic act they call “Communication Ritual” that incorporates experimental dance, manipulation of objects and interaction with the public.”

On Saturday at Mark Moore gallery, Rob and Christian Clayton aka Clayton Brothers brought together an expansive body of eclectic work, "Open to the Public" (previewed here). The exhibition includes everything from miniature drawing, painting, sculptures, interactive video and an installation that is like a twisted child's playroom. The brothers credit their thrift shop "mecca", the Sun Thrift Store in Sunland, CA as the visual inspiration.
Originally from Mexico City, Texas-based Gabriel Dawe primarily uses thread as a means of creating fantastical installations. Combining fashion and architecture, his vibrant threaded works (covered here) exhibit a certain strength and delicacy. Dawe's ongoing series of sculptures play with textiles on a much smaller scale. Instead of large spaces, in "End of Childhood", Dawe binds a child's toys such as metal cars and plastic animals like elephants, horses, and dinosaurs.
Artist Beth Cavener’s stoneware sculptures present creatures from the natural world in eerie, new lights. A new show at Jason Jacques Gallery in New York City collects new pieces from the artist. “The Other” presents works from the sculptor of several moods and approaches. Five “new major works” are presented in the show. Cavener was last featured on HiFructose.com here, and she was part of the Turn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose exhibition.
In Peter Palfi's "Looney Tombs" series, the mythologies of Ancient Egyptian gods and 20th-century animation synthesize with artifacts faithful to both histories. The Hungarian artist uses bronze, wood, resin, actual mummified animals, and other materials to craft these sculptures—along with his own complete Book of the Dead. For some, it may recall Damien Hirst's "Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable," though Palfi's work, in concept, wholly embraces the absurd.
