‘captain america’
‘captain america’ by john powers
maiden lane exhibition space, new yorkoctober 17 - january 30, 2009
as part of the ‘metro poles, art in action’ series, the jamaica center for arts & learning commissioned a new
piece by artist john powers. based in brooklyn, john powers works mainly in sculpture and installation.
in ‘captain america’ powers presents a dual installation featuring pieces titled ‘empire’ and ‘captain america’.
‘empire’ is a large hanging sphere that is made from styrofoam covered in anodized aluminium. the form
appears to be made up of many smaller forms, perhaps buildings or found objects. the show’s namesake
installation is made up of several cubes within cubes. each form is all white and resembles an optical
illusion similar to the work of m.c. escher. the cubes are arranged in a circle forming a star in their negative
space and the facing undersides are all painted a soft and dark red.
