poster for "Divergence" Exhibition

This event has ended.

Curated by Rachel Gladfelter, Associate Director at Pace Prints Chelsea, this exhibition presents work by 14 artists in residence. The works included in this exhibition address diverse concepts surrounding divergence and longing. David Rios Ferreira’s "A Shared Religion Proved a New Lesson" conveys a repeated central figure taking flight, amongst nostalgic images pulled from a Walt Disney past. Felipe Baeza addresses a sense of religious dissemblance in "Desaparaces," an etching with chine collé. Arturo Meade utilizes found objects (vinyl records), printing directly on their surfaces, thereby changing the utilitarian course of the object’s past. Shanti Grumbine literally and laboriously excises the content from the New York Times, evolving the work through the process of kenosis. An elegant simplicity of two converging and diverging lines, Brad Ewing’s "Margin XIII"—margins ever changing. For all 14 artists, their new works demonstrate delight and curiosity in experimenting with materials and concepts, and a desire to explore new possibilities in their artistic practice. The Lower East Side Printshop allows artists the freedom and range to experiment in the printmaking process via their Keyholder Residencies and Studio Rental programs.
