This event has ended.
Peninsula presents No(w)here, a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Bryan Graf and Reveille Barnes, curated by Walker Waugh. The exhibition will feature a selection of handmade porcelain objects by Barnes, set among an installation of photograms, wallpapers, and prints on linen by Graf.
Bryan Graf’s practice is largely shaped by the environment he works within, so both studio and gallery space, as well as the neighborhood of Red Hook will be activated as site and content of the artist’s output. Graf’s installation at Peninsula will be an evolving piece puzzled together as the show and his residency at Pioneer Works progress. Reveille Barnes’ elegant porcelain vessels and carved wall tiles are exhibited in No(w)here as chiral pairs, near but not quite mirrored objects whose simple elegance belie their exquisite craft. Ideas surrounding memory and reliquary, ritual and repetition accentuate the work’s lightness of touch.
Bryan Graf (American, b.1982) has an MFA in Photography from Yale University. He is the author of four artist monographs and in 2014 had his first solo museum exhibition, Moving Across the Interior, at ICA @ MECA in Portland, Maine. Graf is currently the inaugural photography lab artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works in Red Hook.
Reveille Barnes (American, b.1979) has a BFA in Ceramic Art from Alfred University. No(w)here is Barnes’ first exhibition in New York since 2008.
