press release

In our second White Room we are proud to present "The Early Show" a group exhibition curated by Elysia Borowy-Reeder, Scott Reeder, and Tyson Reeder. "The Early Show" will feature works made by established artists before they had any formal art education, or at a very, very early stage in their education, or careers. A cross-generational exhibition "The Early Show" seeks to privilege these nascent, often tentative creative gestures, whilst considering how such gestures might relate to, or depart from, these artists' more 'mature' or better known work. Artists confirmed for "The Early Show" include: Franz Ackermann, Cory and Jamie Arcangel, David Aron, Brian Belott, Cecily Brown, Gavin Brown, Sara Clendening, Anne Collier, Santiago Cucullu, Peter Doig, Jim Drain, Hannah Fushihara, Mary Heilmann, Chris Johanson, Daniel Johnstone, Rachel Kushner, Frankie Martin, Donald Morgan, Rebecca Morris, JP Munro, Elizabeth Peyton, David Reed, Chris Smith, Francine Spiegel, Spencer Sweeney, Mungo Thomson, Lane Twitchell, and Megan Whitmarsh.

"The Early Show" will be accompanied by a special issue of White Columns' in-house journal "The W.C."

Elysia Borowy-Reeder, Scott Reeder, and Tyson Reeder are artists and curators based in Chicago and Milwaukee. Their recent curatorial projects include the celebrated exhibition series "Drunk vs. Stoned," (organized with Gavin Brown and Corrina Durland) for Gavin Brown's enterprise, New York (2004 and 2005); and since 2000, they have been prime-movers behind Milwaukee's famed project space "The General Store." In 2006, they will organize a new project for The Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita.
