Breaking Ground [Allan Wexler](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/allan-wexler) Mar 28 – May 2, 2014 ![Wexler Rift 2013](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/3613/Wexler-Rift-2013.jpg) Allan Wexler Rift, 2013 Description Ronald Feldman Fine Arts will exhibit Breaking Ground by Allan Wexler whose art practice conceptualizes spheres of interests traditionally associated with the field of architecture. Breaking Ground presents three series of multi-media works which combine sculpture, drawing, and photography. The exhibition continues concepts that have engaged the artist for forty-five years: the forms, functions, and meanings of what we build, creating archetypal structures and elaborating them beyond function in metaphysical and conceptual ways. With his newest exhibition, Wexler explores the first marks by humans on the primal landscape as builders – the shovel plunged into the earth lifting earth skyward – signifying our relationship to the natural world.
