After After the Contemporary opens Saturday January 20th from 6 - 9 pm at Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles. I’m pleased to debut 120 new watercolor and acrylic paintings of Artforum ads that form a timeline of the Contemporary. The new paintings expand on the fictional retrospective look at the twenty-five-year period I developed for my 2017 solo exhibition at the Aldrich. The works are available in chronological order here or as a PDF catalog you can download here

. The exhibition also includes drawings that informed the Aldrich show from 2016 that were shown in Brussels, a print of my text-based timeline “The Contemporary in Context”, and three new sculptural Artforum watercolors on paper mounted on aluminum that were recently shown at Untitled in Miami. The press release is also available as PDF here
