Some behind the scenes of the @gentlemonster + @maisonmargiela 4th collaboration. Huge thanks to @gentlemonster for the invite to be a part of this project and to get a chance to travel to Seoul to see it all unfold.
Slide 1- Back side of the curtain. To make these pieces each cast has to be constructed on-site by spraying many layers of plaster onto the backside of a massive fabric mold. As someone who is obsessed with process and materiality I think that the back of these sculptures are not only stunning but are the visual residue of action.
Slide 2- Pop up site. Lifts for scale and you can see the sun shining though the plaster cast showing how thin of a veil it truly is.
Slide 3/4- Gentle Monster took the motif of my cast curtain and used that idea as a theme to design the displays for seven of their global stores. The first display is the Haus Nowhere Seoul corporate headquarters building and the second is cast resin shelving from the backstage of the pop up event.
Slide 5- The aftermath/ plaster shards
Slide 6- Plastic shroud surrounding the fabric mold during the location casting. Spraying plaster creates a lot of dust and overspray so custom spraybooths need to be constructed for each piece to help contain the mess.
Slide 7- Outside the pop up space with my man Haedong @banpall Without this man and his unbelievable team this piece would not have been possible. He is now truly a plaster master.
Also scope my outfit! Big thanks to @maisonmargiela for outfitting me for the event and the rad @gentlemonster glasses from this colab!
Slide 8. One of the most wild buildings! The Haus Nowhere Seoul corporate headquarters. A lot of the @gentlemonster team I was working with had a hand in designing this amazing structure.

Newburgh Open Studios is proud to present Material collaborator, process inventor , the works of Ian McMahon.
I think of myself as a material collaborator and process inventor. Transfixed by select materials, I dive into them, exploring their limits and unconventional applications. A courtship begins. During extensive experimentation, I find behaviors and modalities that often lay dormant, hidden under the materials intended uses. My forms, concepts, methodologies and processes evolve out of these intense long term relationships. Spanning from massive temporal site works to experimental furniture my work explores permanence, longevity and play though a material forward evolutionary approach.

Final days to view Ian McMahon’s exhibition at Wolfhouse.
Over the past month and a half, Ian McMahon(@ian.mcm)’s sculpture and cast work moved through the rooms and across the grounds of Wolfhouse — plaster, steel, concrete, air, fabric, placed in quiet conversation with Philip Johnson’s 1949 architecture.
McMahon’s practice is built on a direct physical relationship with material, pushing each until it pushes back. The forms that emerge from that exchange found a natural counterpart in Wolfhouse itself, built on the same conviction: that how a space is made shapes how it is lived in. We thank you all for coming out to our first exhibition. Follow us to stay informed about our next activation.
Wolfhouse is dedicated to the life of art, culture, and everything in between. We champion contemporary art and the artists making it new, from the Hudson Valley to New York City and beyond. Hope to see you again soon 💚
This exhibition is made possible by Zoë Burge Dayman(@badgirlbonga) & Lucy Dayman(@lucy.dayman).

Open House with Ian McMahon for Upstate Art Weekend.
Next Saturday and Sunday, 27–28th, Philip Johnson’s 1949 hilltop house welcomes you to explore sculpture and design work by Ian McMahon (@ian.mcm) sited throughout. A ‘Material Collaborator’ whose practice runs on a relentless conversation with plaster, steel, concrete, and air, Ian made sense as a first for a building shaped by someone just as devoted to material and form.
It’s the first of many. We’re committed to a cultural program that honors the depth of talent already rooted here in the Hudson Valley and beyond.
Join us. Saturday 12–5pm / Sunday 12–5pm. Link in bio.

Thrilled to have the opportunity to share space with this historic Philip Johnson house @wolfhouse located just outside of Newburgh, NY. Big thanks to @wolfhouse for having me for this first round of programming. More details below or head over to Wolf House ig for more info.
—————
This Upstate Art Weekend, Wolfhouse reopens its doors. Designed by Philip Johnson in the late 1940s and perched on a hilltop overlooking the Hudson River, Wolfhouse is one of Newburgh’s most quietly significant buildings, a midcentury treasure now under new ownership with a vision for the space as a hub for art and culture in the Hudson Valley. To mark the beginning of that next chapter, we’re opening the house to the public for the first time this year during Saturday and Sunday (27th and 28th) of Upstate Art Weekend with work by one of Newburgh’s own.
Ian McMahon is a Newburgh-based artist and self-described ‘Material Collaborator’ whose practice is built on an intense, ongoing conversation with physical materials: plaster, steel, concrete, air, fabric, sand, and an apt artist to show within the walls of a structure built by a man as similarly obsessed. Ian pushes his materials until they push back, and what emerges from that exchange- monumental site-specific installations, sculptural objects, cast forms invented through processes entirely his own. For this weekend, Ian has installed sculpture and design pieces throughout the house, his work in quiet conversation with Johnson’s architecture.
This weekend marks a statement of intent from the Wolfhouse crew, who are committed to building a cultural program that doesn’t just utilize the beauty of the Hudson Valley region but also pays respect to the immense talent of those who call this area home. Ian is exactly the kind of maker we want to celebrate, someone whose work has grown in and with this community for nearly a decade, and whose ambition and craft deserve a wider audience.
We hope you’ll come by.

In honor of @elijah_wheat_showroom inaugural opening today in their new space in Beacon I thought it was a perfect time to repost this piece that took place in the Newburgh location summer 2022.
As sad as it is that they lost their location here in Newburgh and we truly lost out having them on this side of the river, I can’t wait to see what this new chapter for them will bring. I want to not only celebrate this evolution in their journey but also take a moment to acknowledge all the amazing artists and programming that they brought to Newburgh over the years. I see my deconstruction events not as loss but as a way for the work grow and reach its full potential with an audience. These sculptural events are my way to truly give the work to the viewer. Cementing a moment in time into the core, allowing the work to live indefinitely on through their collective memories. Similarly, I see my experiences with the shows/artists that Lina and Liz brought to Newburgh not as gone but stored in my(our) memory, still morphing and evolving. Thank you for letting me share my work in that amazing space with your audience. Looking forward to tonight's opening and the amazing journey to come.
Opening tonight 6/13 from 12-8 @elijah_wheat_showroom
