Charles McGill “Territories”
Pavel Zoubok Gallery
This event has ended.
PAVEL ZOUBOK GALLERY invites you to a solo exhibition of new work by CHARLES McGILL, whose assemblages of vinyl, leather, plastic and hardware embody a specifically masculine struggle with modernism, race and class, and in so doing manifests diverse potential for change.
For Charles McGill, deconstructing a golf bag is a physical and psychological struggle. The pieces he harvests from the whole establish a formal vocabulary that bears this stress plainly: deliberation in flayed slabs, frustration in wrested chunks, fervor in ousted masses. Appended to substrates or submitted to piecemeal assembly, these components are reconfigured into forms that convey a wide range of intellectual and corporeal maneuvers. Though McGill sculpts with materials that inextricably cite a niche of institutional discrimination, the works in Territories externalize the knowledge born not just to an African-American but, more specifically, to an African-American male artist, three descriptors of individual and collective identity complicated by lived experience.
