Liliana Porter’s latest exhibition with Barbara Krakow Gallery focuses on the balance between playful narrative and the larger contexts into which the situations, materials and ideas of Porter’s work can be used as ways to see more clearly. In the painting, “To Go There III”, one is lead to believe a cartoon character made the abstract gestures. The Zen mentality of the levitating rabbit is somehow able to stay out of the mess created below it in “Situation with Levitating Rabbit II”. In these works and others, Porter continuously uses intrigue and whimsy as entrances into the great questions of how to be involved, how and why to perceive, and the multiplicity of lives that objects can play, depending upon who, what, when, where, how and why they are used. Please come visit the show to further explore.
The artist will be present for a reception on this Saturday, March 17, 2012 from 3-5 PM.
