Reception: Tues., Feb. 15, 6–8 p.m.
Route 2: Undisclosed Destination is composed exclusively of works by artists originally from, or working at, the West Coast. Aiming to establish commonalities among them beyond the aspect of their provenance, the show draws two different paths that run in parallel, and in tension. The first is landscape, a long-established subject in art and a specific consideration on the West Coast, whose cities have carried the load of serving as imagined Arcadias for utopian thinkers and idealists. The second path is arranged chronologically, allowing an apparent genealogy of influences and correspondences to emerge, emphasizing a modality of production that involves reuse and repetition (of both materials and topics).
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: John Baldessari, Wallace Berman, Elisheva Biernoff, Jedediah Caesar, Geoffrey Farmer, Rachel E. Foster, Rodney Graham, John Gutmann, Todd Hido, William E. Jones, Jordan Kantor, Edward Kienholz and Nancy Reddin, Alicia McCarthy, Gareth Moore, J. John Priola, Stephen G. Rhodes, Will Rogan, and Mungo Thomson
