Step aside, straight lines and cerebral detachment- Pat Steir isn’t here for minimalist politeness. At Hauser & Wirth’s Wooster Street outpost, her reimagined installation Mirage 1975 defies walls not just physically but psychologically, resurrecting a space where visual and verbal consciousness flicker like twin flames in a brain lit by wild intuition. Transformation is a mechanism that came to mind. When Steir first painted directly on gallery walls in 1975, she shattered the boundary between artwork and spectator, insisting that immersion is the purest form of perception.
