This summer the museum is presenting a group exhibition with artists who work with “space” in their paintings. Through motifs, use of color, and processing of the canvas, these artists deal with the possibilities of abstraction, while exploring the ways in which different painting techniques and the materiality of paint creates depth and spatiality.

Some of the artists work with painting as installation or with painterly properties of sculpture. Others refer to architecture and architectural shapes, in paintings that suggest an interior world or a painterly scheme.  

A range of geographic and generational positions will be present, and while focused on our contemporary moment, works from the twentieth century will be included to suggest a longer historical interest in these strategies.
