NEW WORK: CONTEMPORARY FIGURATION

   

The third in a series of thematic exhibitions
investigating the current state of a particular
style, subject, or medium in contemporary art,
this show brings together work by a group of
international, emerging and well-established
artists who deal with the human figure. In
pieces ranging from digital to traditional media,
their approaches span the terrain between
presence and absence, contemplate the pre-
and post-human, and trace the dissolution of
the figure into abstraction.

Artists in the exhibition include:

Richard Barnes, Jim Campbell, Catherine Chalmers,
Rineke Dijkstra, Anthony Discenza, Marlene Dumas,
Andrea Higgins, Alfredo Jaar, Robert Linder,
Catherine McCarthy, Shirin Neshat, John O'Reilly,
Liliana Porter, Orit Raff, Shahzia Sikander,
and others.
