Things Exist

Things exist.  We do not have to create them; we only have to grasp their relations. - Stéphane Mallarmé 1891

Micah Lexier's latest show at Birch Libralato Gallery is a celebration of found objects, or more precisely, a collection of fragments of found cardboard boxes cleverly put together.  Even the title of the show itself, Things Exist, is a found object.  Mallarmé's quote could not have summarized Lexier's show in better words.
