Greene Naftali Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition titled “The Pursuer.” The show will bring together artists’ works both contemporary and historical that engage with complex possibilities for abstraction and the overlaid relationships between media. Rich abstract paintings by Ida Ekblad and Jon Pestoni and bold graphic patterns by Kerstin Brätsch will co-exist with re-imaginations of the everyday through video parodies by Alex Bag, performative lectures by Trisha Baga, diagrams and assemblage by Candy Jernigan, and free-standing sculpture by Haegue Yang. Poetic sensibilities will translate between forms in the painted texts of Josef Strau, chromatic charts of frequencies by Paul Sharits, and filmed sculptural actions of Alex Hubbard. Titled after a short story by Julio Cortazar which follows an aging addict jazz musician and his hallucinations on the elastic nature of time, the exhibition will present unusual fantasies and palpable resonances.
