Henry Klimowicz, Methods of Proceeding

Geary Contemporary, 208 Bowery, 10012, New York City

August 1, 2026 – September 27, 2026

Geary presents Methods of Proceeding, a solo exhibition by Henry Klimowicz, running from August 1 to September 27, 2026. The exhibition explores the practice of sculpture, drawing parallels between Klimowicz's artistic methods and the instincts of swimmers and honey bees. Klimowicz articulates that a swimmer's training involves embedding form into muscle memory, transcending conscious thought, while a honey bee instinctively constructs hexagonal combs, guided by an innate sense of proportion and space. He reflects on the duality faced by swimmers: the challenge of solidifying water while also moving through it effortlessly. This interplay of physicality and instinct is central to both swimming and art-making, emphasizing the creation of form as an embodied experience rather than a purely intellectual process. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the connections between these practices and the nature of artistic creation.
