David Adey’s Boom! AR-1 currently on view in his solo exhibition at the gallery, There Be Dragons. In this series, featuring 15 wall mounted relief compositions, Adey has taken the digital 3D model of the AR-15 lower receiver, and, using software, he has reconfigured its three-dimensional elements as flattened forms. He has used these laser-cut shapes as elements in a series of elegant geometric abstractions, fashioned from veiled versions of the weapon layered with elements of a flattened 3D scan of his own body. This group of works, in his view, beg a question: “How many steps away from the original can the work be and still be legal?” The series of 15 compositions, together, contain all the data for one AR-15 lower receiver. #DavidAdey #ThereBeDragons (at Quint Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyfIUvFqct/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d4za0avkxml1

Please join us tonight for the Opening Reception of @david.adey’s exhibition, There Be Dragons from 6-8pm. Guns are central to David Adey’s latest series of work: guns as a tool to assist with the creation of his sculptures, and online designs for them created with a 3D printer that become major elements in these new works. The charged national debate over guns, the debate over the accessibility of “3D printed” versions of them, and recent shootings of horrific proportions have all been catalysts for his new work. #ThereBeDragons #DavidAdey (at Quint Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsjTPpDl2as/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eefpkm99ebfz

Please join us for the opening reception of DAVID ADEY: There Be Dragons this Saturday, January 12 from 6-8PM. In this sculpture, Adey took a bundle of cedar posts out to the desert and shot away most of the middle of this eight-foot-tall block—aptly titling the work 2,127 Rounds. And because this sculpture is so narrow at the middle, it seems both massive and delicate all at once. It also impresses itself as an emblem of the force of gunfire, the violence it can visit on objects or people. #therebedragons #davidadey (at Quint Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsdl8kmFZv-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d46cbpvvq8ly

@david.adey installing his wall-mounted sculpture, 10X Black Dragon, for his upcoming solo show at the gallery opening this Saturday, January 12th from 6-8pm. This piece is a downloaded, functional 3D model of an AR-15 lower receiver containing 26,706 triangles, has been scaled up 10x, unfolded and flattened into one piece, and laser cut in paper. #therebedragons #davidadey (at Quint Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbrpC4lo_m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cxf0lglfl1x3
