A GNAWING THOUGHT at Utopia, Kingston, NY
Curated by Mandolyn Wilson Rosen
Natalie Beall / Todd Bourret / Kerry Downey / Georgia Elrod / Rachel Jackson / Jenny Kemp / Elisa Lendvay / Cotter Luppi / Rita MacDonald / Adrian Meraz / Valerie Piraino / Padma Rajendran / Mandolyn Wilson Rosen / Michelle Rosenberg / Adie Russell / Nancy Shaver / Amy Talluto / Christina Tenaglia
UTOPIA presents A GNAWING THOUGHT, an exhibition which examines “near-symmetry” as a site of rebellion. The artists represented here have a love-hate relationship with visual symmetry and all the many implications it may hold, from the biological, the theatrical and the spiritual to the Classical and the authoritarian.
The exhibition brings together works by 18 New York-based artists, most of whom reside in the Hudson Valley. Included works lean toward, flirt with and resist the coercive pull of symmetrical binaries and resolve instead into something close but not quite — retaining a kernel of imbalance, tension or mutation which gives them life.
