Joan Waltemath: contingencies
@ PEREGRINEPROGRAM
500 W Cermak Rd, 727, Chicago, IL 60616
Opening Saturday, April 16th, from 3PM - 6PM
On view through Saturday, May 14th
A selection of Joan Waltemath‘s works from 2003 to the present. Working initially from a harmonic grid, Waltemath determines points in space that open up as void forms or portals the longer one looks at them. For contingencies, Waltemath will create a new installation of selected works based on these harmonic progressions, juxtaposing different materials to highlight diverse spatial resolutions. The reflectivity and material density of paper, mylar and aluminum panels using oils, hand-ground, non-traditional, reflective pigments, colored pencil and graphite become the vehicle to overcome the flatness and dominance of the traditional grid, while her color sense and diverse mediums are the final arbiters of its realization.
