Current Swing Space artist Elisa Lendvay is featured in Tensegrity at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery in Brooklyn through July 20th.

The term Tensegrity was coined by Buckminster Fuller to describe the integrity of structures as being based in a synergy between balanced tension and compression components. Since then the term has been applied to a variety of uses, most notably by Carlos Castaneda to describe a system of movements, stances and stretches that emphasize the tension and relaxation of muscles. In this group of work tension exists formally between structure and surface, and between sculpture and painting. There is a pushing back and forth between the materials that define the surface and those that create the structure such that the two coexist in a balanced relationship.

Tensegrity features work by Joy Curtis, Michael DeLucia, Jim Lee, Elisa Lendvay, Keiko Narahashi.
