Barcelona based artist Jaime Pitarch is opening soon at MASS Moca in USA.
In an everyday environment usually saturated with a relentless stream of images and stimuli, moments of visual quiet can take on unexpected power. InVisible will feature work by artists who explore the line between visibility and invisibility and, in so doing, invite viewers to participate in a deeper act of looking.
The exhibition examines the demands and subtleties of the viewing experience from phenomenological, anatomical, and cognitive perspectives, and includes works that engage the immaterial and test perceptual limits. Drawing attention to what is often unnoticed at first sight, many of the works heighten viewers' awareness of inconspicuous details of the artists' materials or those of mundane objects, focusing on the negative spaces and interstitial moments in our surroundings that are often overlooked. Some of the works, pushed to the edge of legibility, disappear into the gallery space itself and blur the distinction between medium and ground. Several artists manipulate ephemeral phenomena, harnessing the potential of light and shadow, while still others use strategies of erasure and find the "something" in what might be otherwise described as "nothing."
InVisible will bring together a selection of artists working in a variety of mediums. Artists include Uta Barth, Christian Capurro, Joanne Lefrak, Janet Passehl, Jaime Pitarch and Karin Sander.
Curated by Katia Zavistovski, an intern from the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art, InVisible is part of the continuing series of MASS MoCA exhibitions presented in collaboration with the Clark Art Institute in support of MASS MoCA and the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art. The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute has been placing interns from its graduate program in the curatorial department at MASS MoCA since well before MASS MoCA opened its doors.
