KATE WERBLE GALLERY, NEW YORK featuring CHRISTOPHER CHIAPPA
May 9 – June 28, 2025

Christopher Chiappa
Black Plastic Trash Bag
2010-2025

KATE WERBLE GALLERY from New York has been invited to use the exhibition space. She presents Christopher Chiappa and showing the installation BLACK PLASTIC TRASH BAG.

Cloaking the gallery in black plastic, Christopher Chiappa’s Black Plastic Trash Bag examines the information inherent in a physical gallery.  A black trash bag would be a startling and dark image if it were hung alone on a white wall, but by flooding the gallery with black plastic, the bag becomes contemplative and nearly invisible; a tree hidden in the forest.

Christopher Chiappa (USA, born 1970 in West Chester, PA) attended the Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, RI) in 1989 before receiving a BA from Middlebury College, (Middlebury, VT), in 1993.
