This exhibition features the work of over 25 artists working in painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, installation, video, and mixed media. All of the artists in this show use a systematic process of compiling and creating content in the making of their work. By employing structured geometry (stripes, grids, formulas), labor-intensive mark making (dots, cross-hatching, text), methodical deconstruction/reconstruction, or focused minimalism, the works emphasize the potential of their individual parts--describing not only what is made but also paying tribute to the act of making. With influences that include Chinese brush painting, Bill Viola's mystical videos, Agnes Martin's meditatively marked fields, Julie Merehtu's personal and schematic fields, Fred Tomaselli's intricately crafted surfaces, and Tom Friedman's uncanny creations, the artists in this show investigate the optical, the obsessive, the meditative, the otherworldly, and ultimately the transformative.
