The shared visual language and approach to information by artists in the exhibition reveals a common engagement with the potential for minimalist forms to make connections that reach far beyond the boundaries of art.Many of the artists included in the exhibition strip information down to its most essential structures: Trevor Paglen's seemingly minimalist cube is actually composed from materials found at early atomic bomb testing sites and from the disaster zone at Fukushima, while the palette of Kapwani Kiwanga's two-tone paintings is drawn from psychological color theory employed in institutional design. Through a method of distillation, these artists offer new ways of thinking through the conditions of life today, from legacies of colonialism and economies of extraction to the impact of new technologies and the flow of capital.As deceptively simple as a line of engraved steel rings, the shape of a ship's hull, or a clay-covered tondo—the objects on view are formations of what remains when subjects and information are digested and transformed by artists, each of whom brings their own histories and subjectivities to the process. Inviting curiosity and slow looking, these works speak to the capacity of abstraction to embrace complex questions and subjects, exposing and resisting hidden power structures both past and present. These forms function as a kind of operating system: an abstract representation of how information becomes form and how form can, in turn, create information.

Her paintings and tapestries use geometric forms and subtle variations of color that evoke landscapes and horizons, as well as striking geometric compositions. Adnan began to paint in the 1960s, after her decision to stop writing in French in solidarity with the Algerian War of Independence. Adnan began to make paintings each day during her time in Sausalito, California of the Mount Tampalpais outside her window. While she was widely known as a poet and writer, abstract painting allowed Adnan to explore memories of her youth in the Middle East, the atrocities of war she observed, and her nomadic life thereafter.Learn More & View More Works by Etel Adnan Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Etel Adnan Désert Rose 2019 wool tapestry, handwoven in Aubusson, France 155 cm × 200 cm (61" × 78-3/4"), Courtesy the artist and Sfeir-Semler Gallery, Beirut / Hamburg Inquire How can we reach you?

Geological Time Scale (2015) focuses on the channels through which traditions become solidified by the conditions of colonialism. This iteration of the work references geological modes of mining and playful fort like elements with the rugs stacked on a custom-built table. Comprised of some 50 modern monochrome woven Berber rugs collected from different tribes in Morocco, the site-responsive installation references the work of a historical figure: the early 20th-century French Army general and colonial administrator, Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyautey. Lyautey’s impact on Moroccan history is still palpable in some aspects of the country’s culture today.Learn More & View More Works by Yto Barrada Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Carousel slide 5 Carousel slide 6 Yto Barrada Geological Time Scale (assembled group of primarily monochrome Beni Mguild, Marmoucha, and Ait Sgougou pile rugs from Western Central, Middle Atlas, Morocco) Mid-20th Century mixed media dimensions variable Inquire How can we reach you?

This wall-mounted disc is composed of a mixture of red clay and resin. Like much of Dean’s work, it echoes the formal language of Minimalism to explore how objects and materials are receptacles for both real and projected meaning. In the artist’s words:"I’m interested in finding some third term beyond ‘abstraction’ and ‘representation.’ When dealing with Blackness, these categories blur even if you don’t want them to—as do ‘material’ and ‘symbolism.’ I believe a minimalist framework allows the artist to condense a lot into a single object…Representational strategies lend so much specificity, there’s no room for how these things interlock more ambiently. But Minimalism allows me to speak to complex histories without having to enumerate and fix every element."Learn More About Aria Dean Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Aria Dean Forward Proxy 2.1 2019 clay, resin and wood 45" × 45" × 3" (114.3 cm × 114.3 cm × 7.6 cm), Courtesy of the artist; Greene Naftali, New York; and Château Shatto, Los Angeles / Paul Salveson Inquire How can we reach you?

Reimagining an earlier work, this sculpture responds to the emergence of the cyber and crypto worlds’ connections with Conceptual art and Duchampian gestures in a new invisible interface. Denny's first NFT featured an image of a cardboard replica of the cyber wallet in the first art house auction sale of an NFT in 2018. This new NFT and its accompanying souvenir object include an image of the same cardboard replica, this time physically stamped with an image of a previous artwork made by the artist—a postage stamp featuring an appropriation of image by artist Guile Twardowski.Learn More About Simon Denny Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Carousel slide 5 Carousel slide 6 Carousel slide 7 Carousel slide 8 Carousel slide 9 Carousel slide 10 Carousel slide 11 Carousel slide 12 Carousel slide 13 Carousel slide 14 Carousel slide 15 Carousel slide 16 Carousel slide 17 Carousel slide 18 Carousel slide 19 Simon Denny Backdated NFT/ Cryptokitty Display Hardware Wallet Replica (Celestial Cyber Dimension) 2018, 2019, 2021 jpeg, Cardboard, UV print on cardboard, Non-fungible token (NFT) 3-15/16" × 2-3/8" × 2-3/4" (10 cm × 6 cm × 7 cm) (opens in a new window) Opensea NFT Listing; NFT Conditions of Sale Inquire How can we reach you?

Her work also examines geographies and architectures of oppression and liberation, such as waterways, plantations, passageways, underground tunnels. Working in painting, sculpture, installation and performance, Dyson notes that Black Compositional Thought “considers how paths, throughways, architecture, objects, and geographies are composed by black bodies and from these formations it also considers how properties of energy, space, scale, and sound interact as networks of liberation.”Learn More & View More Works by Torkwase Dyson Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Carousel slide 5 Carousel slide 6 Carousel slide 7 Carousel slide 8 Torkwase Dyson Scale-Scale 2021 acrylic on canvas 8' × 6' 4" × 2" (243.8 cm × 193 cm × 5.1 cm) Inquire How can we reach you?

He emerged from the Washington, D.C. scene in the mid 1960s with works that elaborated upon and disrupted the ethos of Color School painting. His work Black Mozart/ ORNETTE (2020) comprises concentric circles made with joined wood and aluminum panels. Three wooden discs—stained black but allowing the grain to show through—compose the outer rings and frame an aluminum ring at the center. Reminiscent of a vinyl record and titled after the American jazz musician Ornette Coleman, this work nods to Gilliam’s lifelong interest in music.Learn More About Sam Gilliam Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Carousel slide 5 Carousel slide 6 Sam Gilliam Black Mozart/ ORNETTE 2020 wood, aluminum, die-stain, lacquer 96" × 96" × 2-1/4" (243.8 cm × 243.8 cm × 5.7 cm) Inquire How can we reach you?

Kiwanga probes the effects of psychological theories of color created by scholars like Faber Birren and Alexander Schauss who created functional colors for institutions like schools, prisons, hospitals, and mental health facilities in her extensively researched works.Learn More & View More Works by Kapwani Kiwanga Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Kapwani Kiwanga Linear Painting #11: Birren White -Turquoise (U.S Coast Guard's Shore Establishments) 2021 drywall, wood paint 250 cm × 125 cm × 3 cm (8' 2-7/16" × 49-3/16" × 1-3/16"), Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Tanja Wagner, Berlin Inquire How can we reach you?

A domestic but minimal object, the freezer is filled with an assemblage of natural and manufactured foods—frozen fruits, fish, animal bones, a beer bottle, and variant species of mushrooms such as enoki and lion’s mane. Continuing the artist’s investigation of entropy in the Anthropocene, this work meditates on the fragility of living forms and their relationship to machines. The freezer chamber and its contents are literally frozen in time, preserving objects that become more and more obscured by the enveloping freezer-bite ice over time.Learn More About Adrián Villar Rojas Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Adrian Villar Rojas Untitled IV (from the series Rinascimento) 2015-2021 organic, inorganic, human and machine-made matter dimensions tbd Inquire How can we reach you?

Offering five lessons in invisibility, the film wryly maps the formal, symbolic, and real connections between the worlds of art, economics, and global political regimes in our era. In an interview Steyerl explains “in the case of How Not to Be Seen, it started with a real story that I was told about how rebels avoid being detected by drones. The drone sees movement and body heat. So, these people would cover themselves with a reflective plastic sheet and douse themselves with water to bring down their body temperature. The paradox, of course, is that a landscape littered with bright plastic-sheet monochromes would be plainly visible to any human eye—but invisible to the drone’s computers.”Learn More & View More Works by Hito Steyerl Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Carousel slide 5 Carousel slide 6 Carousel slide 7 Carousel slide 8 Hito Steyerl How Not to Be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File 2013 HD video, single screen in architectural environment 15 minutes, 52 seconds, Courtesy of the artist, Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York and Esther Schipper, Berlin Inquire How can we reach you?
