Iconic works foregrounding the long relationships of many artists continuing to show with the gallery will be on view this Sunday in our new group exhibition Summer Stock.
In dialogue with Rafael Rodriguez Garciga’s Prototyping Actuality, the exhibition showcases works that depict bodies, scenes, actions, materials, and sensations that explore abjection, the human psyche, and the grotesque.
Patinated and textured, Jon Plypchuck’s humanoid creatures invite projections and our meaning-making tendencies to see faces in objects while Luis Cruz Azaceta captures the horror and chaos of the city surrounding him from the viewpoint of a person in exile in his mechanized anguished self-portrait. Tomás Esson’s painting features one of his spitting, secreting, sexualized monsters, offering a pointed critique of his home country’s repressive regime. The presentation will also feature artists from Fredric Snitzer’s private collection, such as John Bock, James Castle, Terrence Koh, and Purvis Young, among others.
