Walk-through with Solveig Øvstebø: In the waiting room
@ The Renaissance Society
5811 S Ellis Ave, 4th floor, Chicago IL 60637
Opening Wednesday, February 12th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Solveig Øvstebø will lead an informal tour of Silke Otto-Knapp’s solo exhibition, ‘In the waiting room.’
This is a particularly special evening, as it is Øvstebø’s final tour in her capacity as Executive Director and Chief Curator at the Renaissance Society. Please join us!
‘In the waiting room’ presents a group of new large-scale paintings by Silke Otto-Knapp, situated within an arrangement of free-standing custom display structures to form a kind of multidimensional stage set within the gallery. Otto-Knapp’s paintings carry a certain enigmatic quality, the seeming simplicity of the reduced compositions belied by their layered, diaphanous surfaces and a powerful sense of atmosphere. Hovering between figuration and abstraction, they deal in intimation more than narrative, hinting at scenarios with their own strange, choreographed logic without ever charting the steps.
