This event has ended.

For his fourth solo exhibition, Kori Newkirk continues his investigation of self-portraiture and the mediated image of the body in contemporary culture with a series of drawings and a large-scale sculpture. Referencing some of his early works—such as Channel 9 and Channel 11 in which identity has been obscured beyond recognition—Newkirk here borrows from the medium of stained glass. Rendered in Plexiglas and steel, the artist’s visage is fashioned in interlocking blue-colored panels, producing a skeletal geography. Newkirk’s works on paper provide additional perspectives to the narrative as they convert the steel armature of the stained glass into mappings of his face and body. The rendering is fragile as the lines are bleached out of the colored paper in a gesture of erasure.
