Christina Mackie: Colour drop
@ The Renaissance Society
5811 S Ellis Ave Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Sunday, April 27th, from 4PM - 7PM
On view through Sunday, June 29th
The Renaissance Society is pleased to announce Colour drop, a solo exhibition of new work by Christina Mackie on view April 27 – June 29, 2014. This will be the London-based Canadian artist’s first museum exhibition in the United States. The Renaissance Society will host an opening reception on Sunday, April 27th from 4-7pm featuring an artist talk at 5pm with Mackie and co-curators Solveig Øvstebø and Hamza Walker.
Mackie’s work spans a range of media. Her practice is empirical, reliant on observation but prompted by personal reflection and a curiosity for the natural world. Her exhibition at the Renaissance Society will include large-scale sculptures, glass and ceramic works, a series of indented wooden panels, as well as an arrangement of found and natural objects. Central to the exhibition is color: the production and consumption of color, and the association of color and action. Mackie uses color to make intention visible, both as conceptual tool and ancient human device.
Christina Mackie (born 1956, Canada) lives and works in London. Recent solo exhibitions include The Judges III, Nottingham Castle Museum (2013); Painting the Weights, Chisenhale Gallery, London; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2012); Us, Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne (2010); The Judges, Supportico Lopez, Berlin (2010); and Art Now Sculpture Court, Tate Britain (2007).
