The ‘VALUBL OBJX” installation at Made in Astoria Gallery consists of paintings from several series from artist Paul McLean’s “VyNIL Cycle.” Featured is the entire set of “EVENT” Series paintings, occupying the front gallery’s north wall, and most of the “META-ELEMENT” Series, installed primarily in the MiA backroom gallery. The front gallery south wall contains pieces from “CURRENTS, FLOW + REPRODUCTION,” “WORKNET” and “CONTINUITY” Series, with “EVENT #1” installed by the gallery counter. The tabletop installation displays the digital animation “I Don’t Understand It” running on loop, four pieces from the “PETRI” Series, as well as three portfolios in which the “META-ELEMENT” paintings on paper mounted, along with several sets of recent drawings, including “NODES,” “CHARACTERS,” and “CONSTRUCTS,” on digital prints from the “CONTENT” Series. Throughout both galleries “VINYL ON VINYL” artworks are presented, as are “META-ELEMENT” paintings on wood, board, block and fabric. “GLITCH” paintings are displayed on room-facing shelves in the gallery counter, which is between the front and rear spaces. The mini-sculptures of the “META-ELEMENTAL” Series are placed on a round plate on a table in the backroom gallery.
