Bottle and Hole Exhibition View
Greg Carideo ’08

Greg Carideo ’08 recently presented Bottle and Hole in the lower level of the Bureau Gallery. The exhibition, which featured three new sculptures, a light installation, and a custom built pedestal, reflects on unnoticed urban elements and discarded objects.

As Carideo explains; “If you're lucky, you may find a small pothole in the city, with a bottle smashed perfectly inside… It's a remarkable thing, the separate lives of a bottle and hole, how they found each other. The bottle is one of many, made in some factory, possibly far away. It traveled all around, eventually to be bought by someone in New York, who then let it go for one last trip down the road. The road is flat and solid, repelling the world, moving things along…. Roads are perhaps the opposite of a container, until they open up. A hole will only hold onto something that fills it.”
