5, 7, 9, 11, 13
Walter De Maria, Jasper Marsalis, Park McArthur, Sung Tieu
30 April – 20 June 2026
Peter Freeman, Inc. is pleased to present 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, a group exhibition with sculptures and drawings by Walter De Maria, Jasper Marsalis, Park McArthur, and Sung Tieu. The show’s title comes from the work by De Maria, which comprises nine stainless steel polygonal rods that are each either 5-, 7-, 9-, 11-, or 13-sided. Though their approaches differ, each artist’s work references systems of measurement and mechanisms of control, whether musical, mathematical, or spatial. Centering on themes of causality and performance, the selection of works allows for the reexamination of the personal and social structures that inform everyday experiences. All four artists have incorporated sound into their practice at some point. This connection is underscored with a sound piece program presented during the course of the exhibition.
Walter De Maria (b. 1935, Albany, California; d. 2013, Los Angeles) has work in numerous public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Menil Collection, Houston; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Two of his nine permanent installations commissioned and maintained by the Dia Foundation, The Broken Kilometer at 393 West Broadway, New York (1979) and The New York Earth Room at 141 Wooster Street, New York (1977), are within short walking distance of Peter Freeman, Inc.
