Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam

Description

Gallery 16 is pleased to welcome artists Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam for their fifth exhibition at the gallery: "Collaborating with Michelle Grabner isn’t as much fun as you might think it is."

Together, Grabner and Killam run The Suburban, an important exhibition and project space in Oak Park, IL. Since January 1999 they have worked with over one hundred and twenty artists including Luc Tuymans, Joseph Grigely, Martin Parr and Tony Feher. The Suburban recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Can I Come Over to Your House?, an anthology commemorating the first ten years of the Suburban with essays by Grabner, Forrest Nash, and Michael Newman, is forthcoming from Poor Farm Press.

The exhibition will consist of new paintings and silverpoint drawings by Michelle Grabner with sculptures and mobiles by Brad Killam. Michelle Grabner’s paintings and silverpoints index the passage of time. Created with lines, marks, ticks, points, and dots, Grabner’s compositions are simply organized, accumulated, and sequenced, thus leaving virtually no space for the imagination. Killam’s installation of sculptures made from found objects focus on finding the aesthetic qualities of art in ordinary materials and studying the transformation of a functional object into something that causes viewers to regard it as artistically interesting. The artists have worked together as the collaborative team CAR and have exhibited their individual work extensively.
