MIRA SCHOR: Time & Flesh

July 30 to November 27 2016 - The exhibition offers possibilities for representing the lived experiences of women, examining conditions of power, desire, voice, and vulnerability. 

Schor revels in materials—ink, gesso, oil paint, paper, and linen—put into service as agents of intellectual and pictorial investigation. She has depicted body parts (ear, breast, penis, vagina), calligraphic words (joy, lack, flesh, area of denial), and punctuation marks and symbols (comma, semicolon, ellipsis, speech and thought bubbles), giving them all a palpable presence in fields of modulated color. Her work acknowledges the gestural impact of Abstract Expressionism while making a case for modest scale and intimate viewing.
