Continuous Artifact:
Susanna Battin, Stan Buglass, Adrian Cornejo, Sara Hubbs, Sylvie Fleury, Tim Mann, Justin Nalley
January 25–March 1, 2025
Opening reception: Saturday, January 25, 7-9 pm
Everybody is excited to present Continuous Artifact, an exhibition with seven artists that features a wide range of working with two-dimensional surfaces. Susanna Battin investigates the color swatches used by the Bureau of Land Management. Stan Buglass merges British iconography and American freeway infrastructure in works produced through process-heavy CNC milling. Adrian Cornejo applies noxious chemicals to thermal photo paper, pushing the limitations of CMYK colors. Sara Hubbs scales up Advent calendars in metal. Sylvie Fleury brings a furry touch to the monochrome. Tim Mann arranges six colors in one of 720 possible ways. Justin Nalley takes the cleat, normally used to mount something to the wall, and presents one made of soap as an object itself. The works in Continuous Artifact can be viewed through the expanded canon of painting one-quarter into the 21st century, but remain elusive to the medium themselves.
