HERE, PART II WHAT CANNOT BE SAID: Opening Reception

HERE, Part II
WHAT CANNOT BE SAID
Curated by Natasha Boas
January 30 – February 28, 2016
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 6, 2016, 6 - 8 pm
Exploring the theme of abstraction, guest curator Natasha Boas chose six artists: Katie Hawkinson, Edith Hillinger, Anthony Pinata, Nellie King Solomon, Rik Ritchey and Kimberly Rowe. In her statement, Boas writes, “In an increasingly troubled world, abstract painting also works as a consolation, it is not insistently relational or ideological, and allows for contemplation and reflection. Among the works in HERE, Part I, I was struck by the amount of abstraction presented and wanted to pose questions around an area of art practice that remains a through-line from modernism until now. These six artists show a dedication in their work to the investigation of abstraction—and reshape new abstraction through their unique investments in expanded practices”.

BAC congratulates all of the artists and invites you to a conversation with Curator Natasha Boas and BAMPFA Director Larry Rinder, titled What does it mean to think about abstraction? on Wednesday, February 24 at 6 pm.
