SARAH CHARLESWORTH
8 March 2012 - 14 April 2012
Sarah Charlesworth came to the fore as an influential figure of the Pictures Generation and continues to be a major presence today. Known for her rich and extensive explorations of photographic language, her elegant and distilled photographs have for over three decades probed the varied ways in which images both describe and shape the world around us.
Charlesworth has had nearly fifty solo exhibitions internationally; her work appears in numerous museum collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.
GREG SMITH
19 April 2012 - 26 May 2012
Greg Smith’s video and sculptural works are replete with eccentricities, collaging disparate textures and elements into colorful, otherwordly mash-ups which reference subjects as large as the cosmos, as small as beards, and everything in-between.
Smith’s work has been shown at such venues as White Columns, NYC; the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekskill; Devening Projects + Editions, Chicago; and Artists Space, NYC.
