In/Dwellings

Jonathan Anderson

UPCOMING EXHIBITION | JANUARY 15, 2024 - MARCH 27, 2024 Reception - Wednesday, January 15, 2024 - 4-7pm Artist Talk - Monday, January 27, 2024 - 6:30-7:30pm In/dwellings features a selection of artworks made by Professor Jonathan Anderson over the course of nearly a decade, 2005 to 2014. Drawn from three different series, these works all begin from the premise that representational paintings are like built structures, setting up provisional spaces for negotiating our ways of dwelling in the world. In many of his paintings, Anderson purposefully conflates the construction of an image with the (re)construction of a building, a chapel, a home. Ultimately, this exhibition is an extended meditation on what George Steiner called the “covenant between word and object, the presumption that being is, to a workable degree, ‘sayable.’”
