Elizabeth Atterbury, Gordon Hall and Anne Hepler
October 1 2021 - October 9 2022
This exhibition brings together recent sculptures by Elizabeth Atterbury, Gordon Hall, and Anna Hepler. Each piece engages the architecture directly, touching the floor and walls– leaning, resting, standing, draping. Ranging from re-creations of recognizable things to abstract forms, these sculptures interrogate the potential for objects to affect us emotionally, socially, and physically.
Each working within their own purview, these three artists share a commitment to creating spare works with simple materials including wood, ceramic, metal, concrete, cardboard, and paper. Each employs color as an integral component, ranging from paint and pigment to colored pencil and stain.
The term spatial relations refers to how an object is located in space in reference to another object, along with the charged space between them. Here, it is deployed to describe not only the variety of physical and conceptual relationships between the works in this exhibition, but also the evolving conversation among these three artists.
Spatial Relations is made possible in part by a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, with additional support from DOCUMENT (Chicago), Hesse Flatow (New York, NY), and Mrs. (Maspeth, NY). The exhibition is curated by CMCA’s Executive Director & Chief Curator, Timothy Peterson in collaboration with Curatorial Assistant, Rachel Romanski.
