Upcoming Exhibitions

Jim Lutes

A selection of 30 paintings will survey Jim Lutes' career from his gritty Chicago cityscapes to his current synthesis of figuration and a lyrical process-based abstraction. Although Lutes has been the subject of several surveys that focused on discrete periods of his career, this mid-career retrospective will be the first exhibition to look at the complete range of chapters.

Paul Chan

A new work produced for this exhibition will use various media to question the limits of ethics in contemporary culture. Taking the philosphy of French artistocrat Marquis de Sade as a point of departure, Chan examines how collecctive consciousness has shifted to accomodate broader parameters for moral behavior under the auspices of freedom since the 18th Century.

Several Silences

After the blank canvas, the empty room, and compositions of silence, nothing, as the subject of modern art, would have a lot to answer for. The many ways artists have signified nothing is equal to their individual reasons for wanting to do so, leaving less a tradition and more a variety in its wake. Featuring work by Manon de Boer, Ryan Gander, and Wilfredo Prieto amongst others, this exhibition, which takes its name from an essay by Jean Francois Lyotard, examines a variety of takes on silence, whether it is the poetics of time and space, Zen, existentialism, formalism for formalism's sake, or some combination thereof.
