Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is a consequence of the first. Traditionally, we have experienced this relationship with assumed expectations and relations. Aristotle’s example of essential causality is a builder building a house. This single event can be analyzed into the builder building (cause) and the house being built (effect).
Continuing their reflection and analysis of modernity in art, Paul Cowan and Matt Stolle question, analyze, confirm and modify tropes and conventional tactics of the art object and artistic practice. Through their explicit references to ...
A new project by Berlin-based artist Renate Wolff. Skies in Between is a complex painted-wall installation that directs attention to deliberately formed elements and intersections, but offers multiple possibilities for where and how one moves through the space. Finding its locus near the back of the gallery with a large painted square, Skies in Between offers a network of interchanges that quietly move the viewer through the gallery and toward points at which a pause or a break occurs. Using color, rhythm and scale to speed up and slow down the pace, Skies in Between suggests that in an ...
De facto literally means “from the fact,” or “actual.” The sculptures in this most recent exhibition with the gallery Nathaniel Robinson strike a balance between pointing to their own physical reality and interfacing with an environment of ideas and associations. Some aspects of the objects are conspicuously self-formed, their particular structure derived from processes beyond intentional control.
Erik Neff in the Off Space.
Peter Otto's work reports on the constituent factors of a human condition continually shifting between beguiling and highly disturbing. He reveals the state to which humanity—ever tested by social, cultural and political forces—bends, breaks and at times collapses. His paintings and sculptures show a reality emerging from the darkest moments. The themes are somber; the work though is delicately formed and teeming with graceful facture.
Rodney Carswell continues a rigorous and newly energized pursuit of formalist poetics with a series of paintings and works on paper for this second exhibition with the gallery.
Heiner Blumenthal in the offspace. Recent evocative black and white photographs and non-objective ink drawings—each informing the other—in the first devening projects + editions exhibition for this Cologne-based artist.
The year ends and the holidays are upon us. Home Wreckage is the perfect exhibition to help us focus our attention on family, home and comfort. Subversive, dark and humorous, the collection of works in Home Wreckage remind us that being home is not always as relaxed and convivial as we wish it might be.
Home Wreckage includes work by John Arndt, Claire Ashley, Alexander Braun, The Franks, Patrick Gavin, Marie Hermann, Roxane Hopper, Peter Power, Anders Ruhwald, Wolfgang Schlegel, Roman Signer and Franz West.
devening projects + editions is very pleased to present Redden, a new project by Dagmar Varady. Based in Leipzig-Halle, Dagmar Varady belongs to a generation of artists working intensely on the borderline between art and science. Questioning how artistic modes of perception or expression gain importance to scientific disciplines and vice versa, she minimizes the differences or boundaries between these fields of study by renegotiating the values applied to each. The result is a sense of redirected interpretation and experience. Redden, a new project made up of approximately 50 exquisitely drafted, red ink drawings on vellum, features images extracted ...
