ARTISTS
Out of Context
The pieces by Elana Adler, Nora Chin, and Alejandro Waskavich document traces of the body through minimalist contours, interactive cubes, and painterly strokes. Adler鈥檚 stackable cubes invite the viewer to physically manipulate their orderly configuration, while Chin and Waskavich deconstruct imagery found in America鈥檚 mainstream visual culture to invoke feelings of nostalgia and bodily intimacy. The collection of work by Haerim Lee, Wen Liu and Michael D. Moore understand symbolism from a more metaphorical sense, using urban symbols of power structures, cross-hatched fences and borders, and representations of animal skin and shells to symbolize notions of spatial marginalization and otherness.
Together, the artists in Out of Context stretch the limits of meaning to locate new symbolic possibilities. They reveal the destabilizing effects of the loss of symbols and context to interrogate how we, as viewers, making meaning out of art, objects, and the living.
