Visible and Permanent
@ Carrie Secrist Gallery
835 W Washington Blvd, Chicago, IL 60607`
Opening Friday, March 17th, from 5PM - 8PM
VISIBLE AND PERMANENT explores the complex relationship between the concept of civilization and it’s antecedent, so-called primitivism. The artworks presented in this exhibition bring together a group of contemporary artists who are mining the ideologies of origin while firmly entrenched in the now. Cumulatively, these visual representations are not defined by artwork that is socially oriented, political, representational or abstract – but something altogether more visible, authentic and intuitive. Individually, each artist presents his or her individual mark as a permanent gesture that traverses back in time, comments on the now and embraces the future.
Artists participating include:
Mariano Chavez (Chicago)
Austin Eddy (New York)
Andrew Guenther (New York)
Brook Hsu (Los Angeles)
Carmen Price (Baltimore)
Michael Robinson (Los Angeles, New York)
Brion Nuda Rosch (San Francisco)
Adam Scott (Chicago)
Jenn Smith (Chicago)
