Brad Spence: Material / Immaterial

ShoshanaWayne Gallery is pleased to present a group show featuring work by: Nicole Cohen, Jonah Groeneboer, Dinh Q. Lê, Izhar Patkin, Elaine Reichek, James Richards, Michal Rovner, Arlene Shechet, KikiSmith, BRAD SPENCE (pictured here), Yuken Teruya, Shirley Tse, and Angela White.

Material/Immaterial features artists whose work embodies the indiscernible yet indissoluble link between the grand, abstract illusions and ideals of human culture and their basis in humble material conditions. In an age when subsistence-level survival is dependent on the weightless flow of digital information and global capital, these artists use the material properties of their work to give that contradiction a tangible presence.
