newest is The Grid: Sacred and Secular at Solo. In Rosalind Krauss’s essay “Grids” (link is pdf) she argues that using a grid makes it possible for artists to produce very material objects and speak to the pure materiality of the work while at the same time implying a connection to ideas of spirit and “Being.” In Krauss’s argument, the grid makes a work “sacred and secular” at the same time.”

Gloria Klein

Gloria came of age in 1970s New York and played a vital role in many artist-based initiatives in SoHo and on the Lower East Side. Her paintings can be read as Minimalist, Conceptual, and systems-based, but they are also indebted to the burgeoning support for “women’s work,” the Pattern & Decoration movement, and the Criss-Cross artists.  Hyperallergic said Unwinding Unbinding at Anat Ebgi was one of the 10 shows to see in Los Angeles this June.

Continuing with my favs from Artfields

About this installation, Ian says “Crosscut (Log-pile), is a reflection on one of the most quietly obvious signs of human incursion in the natural world: a crosscut tree stump. By utilizing brightly colored handmade paper and neon gel pens to produce the drawings, I am drawing attention to the artificial and unnatural state of the remnant of an individual tree. All images are sourced from either on-site observations and photographs, or from cross-sections of trees recovered after a large culling of forested areas throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina; the paper itself is mostly from the same species of trees depicted in the drawings.”
