Michelle Grabner
Shane Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new work by Michelle Grabner at the gallery鈥檚 three locations. This will be Grabner鈥檚 fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Grabner will present an installation of paper weavings at the Chicago location as a flatbed of overlapping works.鈥傗�侷n the Lincoln Park space, Grabner will show a group of small gingham patterned paintings.鈥傗�侷n Oak Park, Grabner will install three monochromatic woven gesso reliefs on Brendan Fowler鈥檚 sculpture.
Grabner鈥檚 gingham patterned paintings, paper weavings, and gesso reliefs are exercises in visual clich茅 construction. Valuing sturdy truthfulness and unfailing predictability, Grabner implores the 鈥榰ncreative,鈥� routinely engaging in acts of conditional boredom.

She is represented by Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago and runs The Suburban and The Poor Farm with her husband Brad Killam. She will co-curate the 2014 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art.鈥傗�侶er work is included in the permanent collections at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; MUDAM - Mus茅e d鈥橝rt Moderne Luxemburg; Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Daimler Contemporary, Berlin; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
