Geometric Days is an exhibition of new painting by 7 artists
whose deployment of geometry exposes organizational structures from microscopic,
political, and spiritual dimensions. The show is based on the assumption that geometry,
abstraction and painting are ingrained in our interpretation of
experience—geometry as measurement of space and time, abstraction as poetic
expression of the visual, and painting as the manifestation of a will to
communicate. These artists propose that geometry isn’t necessarily abstract,
but that it is actually a form of reality. And their hand-crafted, anarchic
forms undercut geometric abstraction’s historical ties to utopian idealism. Their
work calls upon mathematics as a spiritual force (and geometry as its visual
realization) that codes the experiences of nature, built environments, social
constructs, and the digital world.
Artists included in the exhibition:
Peter Hildebrand, Rico Gatson, Charles Koegel, Geoffrey Owen
Miller, Driss Ouadahi, Danielle Tegeder, Nathlie Provosty
