Opening reception: Sunday, May 11, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Modernism: On and Off the Grid Martin Beck, VALIE EXPORT, Dan Graham, Dorit Margreiter, and Superstudio This exhibition brings together works by four artists and one architectural collective that repeat, revise, or reject a legacy of Modernist architecture and design, exploring form’s relationship to history, subjectivity, and social space. Curated by Niko Vicario
Act Out Vito Acconci, Cheryl Donegan, Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Sturtevant, and Hannah Wilke Act Out presents video works by artists who use their bodies, or others', to resist and repel. They emphasize the consequences and processes that occur when outside forces are integrated with those of the body, intentionally blurring distinctions between the personal and the performative. Curated by Tyler Emerson-Dorsch
Degrees North: Six Artists and the Icelandic Landscape Birgir Andrésson, Douwe Jan Bakker, Hreinn Friofinnsson, Kristján Guomundsson, Sigurour Guomundsson, and Magnús Pálsson This exhibition brings together work by six artists who utilize the Icelandic landscape, language, literary tradition, and culture as source material for their conceptual artworks. Curated by Nicole Pollentier
