This exhibition marks Grabner’s return to domesticated geometric pattern. Gingham, a plain-woven fabric where the warp and weft are aligned to form a simple perpendicular crossing pattern is the basis of Grabner’s recent metalpoint panel works. Gold, silver, copper, and graphite are employed to imitate the basic grid structure generated by gingham weave. The small scale of these works, their minimal gestures, and their ever-changing metal patina up-stage their common reference soliciting theoretical notions of times and geometric abstraction. These simple works re-postulate the restlessness set forth by the long-standing theoretical debates between the polemical conditions of representation and non-representation, relative and non-relative, material and immaterial, the measurable and the immeasurable.

Pearson’s latest project of placing solarized silver gelatin photographs amongst comparably scaled bronzes continues to illuminate his phenomenological and art historical concerns. In this installation, the pedestal is abandoned in favor of affixing bronze tablets directly to the wall. The new alignment flattens the face of each bronze likening the cast surface to the depicted textures framed and now hanging on the same plane. This type of mimicry collapses sculpture and image distinctions complicating each work’s materiality, production and perception.

Shane Campbell will present work by Ann Craven, Peter Halley and Jon Pestoni.
