Richard Artschwager, Gaylen Gerber, John Henderson - Golden - March 3rd 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Golden Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition with Richard Artschwager, Gaylen
Gerber and John Henderson. Henderson asked Gerber to cooperate with him on the
exhibition, and Gerber suggested the inclusion of Artschwager's work. Each artist is
represented by a single artwork in a way that expands upon and conflates the parallels
between context and expression, making visible the role of perception in understanding
the way that image, object and context interrelate.

Henderson's cast of a theatrically gestural painting is the initial expression in the
exhibition. Gerber then painted his monochromatic white Support directly over the
entire gallery, including Henderson's Cast. Gerber's Support is in turn the ground for
Artschwager's work Bristle Corner. The observable flow between artists and artistic
positions that results from the works' literal overlap leads to an awareness of a broader
system of relationships in art. Both background and expression become palpable
and recognizable as interchangeable expressive elements in themselves. The result is an
exhibition that seems absent until seen in its entirety.
