  • The Indiscipline of Painting
    January 14 — March 10 2012
    Mon — Sat 12 to 9pm

    The Indiscipline of Painting is an international group exhibition including works by forty-nine artists from the 1960s to now. Selected by British painter Daniel Sturgis, the exhibition considers how abstraction has remained a site of urgent, relevant and critical enquiry for generations of artists over the last 50 years. The exhibition goes on to demonstrate the ways in which the history and legacy of abstract painting continues to inspire artists working today.
  • Michelle Grabner, Cottage Work, The Green Gallery, Milwaukee WI
    January 21 - February 26, 2012
    Conceding to the traditional linen support of painting her on-going interest in the minimalist grid, found composition, and domestically orientated textiles, Grabner explicitly imbues painting and its Twentieth Century abstract conceits with the literal artifacts of weaving and the representation of warp-and-weft material construction in the new work. Evoking the long-debated critical relationship between the fine arts and craft this work more profoundly underscores the poetics of all elemental visual language construction.
  • Adam Pendleton residency at Artpace, San Antonio, TX
    curated by Jeffrey Grove
    opening March 21, 2012
    Adam Pendleton dissects history and popular culture with precision and austerity in his paintings, installations, videos, and performances. Borrowing images, text, and sound from an unusually diverse array of sources to supply the raw materials of his works, he dismantles and reassembles appropriated slices of film, photography, and experimental poetry to create juxtapositions that bridge the political and social histories of radical politics and avant-garde art.

  • Mark Grotjahn at Aspen Art Museum
    February 17 - April, 29, 2012
    Grotjahn makes conceptually grounded paintings and drawings that collide abstract and figurative elements to unsettle the conventions of each medium. Abstraction in art has been around for just over a century, and its definition and boundaries have long been contested, often alongside challenges to the viability of painting itself. By continuously combining the seemingly incompatible poles of abstraction and figuration, mimesis (or realism) and expressionism, rational logic and intuitive process, Grotjahn stakes a claim for the continued vitality of abstraction and the medium. The Aspen Art Museum’s exhibition is the artist’s first comprehensive survey, including work Grotjahn has produced from the late 1990s to the present.

    Close One
    February 24 - May 26, 2012
    Predicated on common desires, like maximum leisure time and the thirst for travel, the exhibition Close One celebrates idiosyncrasies found in our average daily monotony. Included in the exhibition are spoofs and spin-offs of ordinary, blue-collar subjects that hint at potential fictional histories behind the work.
