One-on-One: Mary Weatherford, Into Space and Time is the gallery's second in a series of online exhibitions dedicated to a single artwork. Weatherford's newest neon painting Into Space and Time (2020) represents the intersection of two ongoing thematic concerns: her interest in science—in particular astrophysics—and an art-historical curiosity about the use of the color pink, which has dominated in several key paintings throughout her career. A number of these pink-hued works are included in the artist’s current traveling survey exhibition Canyon–Daisy–Eden at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. One-on-One: Mary Weatherford, Into Space and Time will be on view through April 28, 2020.
Mary Weatherford: The Japan Drawings brings together select examples from four groups of new works on paper Weatherford produced during a 2019 residency at Troedsson Villa in Nikko, Japan. These drawings emerge from the same kinds of prompts that give rise to the artist's paintings: each represents a synthesis of abstract material experimentation and response to a particular place, time, experience, or idea. While their gestural brushwork and complex spatial effects offer clear parallels to her neon paintings, for instance, more subtle connections also abound, providing viewers with fresh points of access to the prevailing dualities—between heaven and earth, individual encounter and collective imagination, cultural history and direct sense perception—that have fueled Weatherford's project for more than 30 years. The Japan Drawings will be on view through May 19, 2020.
