How Objects Move Through Walls

 

How Objects Move Through Walls includes large-scale paintings, a wall-based installation, and several sculptures by the Chicago-based artist. The relationship between language, translation, and abstraction has been a driving force in Caroline Kent’s artistic practice over the last decade. For the artist, building a visual language of abstraction is one of the frameworks for pursuing respective lines of inquiry.

 

She has noted, “Painting is not a means to an end but a medium through which I can freely consider how producing new images in the world can potentially operate and stimulate how we think about communicative structures.”

 

Located between the folds of speculative fiction, concrete poetry, and abstract painting, Kent constitutes a representation of language free from lexical and syntactic limits. During the exhibition Kent will present a commissioned choreographed performance in two scenes. Dates and times will be announced in June. A limited edition artist book will be released in July.
