Jessica Halonen, Kamila Szczesna, Ryder Richards

Exposición: Sep 22 – Dic 31, 2016


Esta exposición presenta nuevos trabajos de tres artistas, Jessica Halonen, Ryder Richards y Kamila Szczesna, seleccionados del Texas Open Call de Artpace por la curadora invitada Denise Markonish (MASS MoCA) y comisariada por Taylor Bates, directora de programas y exposiciones de Artpace.

“Para complementar a los artistas residentes de otoño de 2016, Objectives se exhibe en el Hudson Showroom, con la participación de Jessica Halonen (Austin), Ryder Richards (Dallas) y Kamila Szczesna (Galveston). Cada uno de estos artistas se involucra con el material y el proceso, creando obras que hacen referencia al legado del minimalismo. Los gestos íntimos y los objetos encontrados de Halonen, los materiales industriales y los gestos performativos de Richard, y las abstracciones corporales de Szczesna continúan las conversaciones en Artpace este otoño sobre el proceso y la maleabilidad de la escultura ”. –Denise Markonish

Hudson Showroom, llamado así por la función anterior de las instalaciones de Artpace como concesionario de automóviles de Hudson, presenta exhibiciones que muestran el trabajo que refleja el alcance regional e internacional de la organización. Los miembros de la Comisión de las Artes y Artpace de Texas brindan generosamente apoyo para el espacio de exhibición Hudson Showroom.
