The Artist's Voice: Charles Gaines in Conversation with Naima J.Keith
In this conversation Charles Gaines: Gridwork 1974-1989 artist Charles Gaines and Naima J Keith, Assistant Curator, The Studio Museum in Harlem, will discuss Gaines' practice, the importance of this early work in the context of his overall career and relationship to the New York art scene in the 1970s and 80s.
This event is a part of The Studio Museum in Harlem's Target Free Sundays.
Highly regarded as both a leading practitioner of conceptualism and an influential educator at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Charles Gaines is celebrated primarily for his photographs, drawings and works on paper that investigate systems, cognition and language. His early experiments examined the roles that systems and rule-based procedures play in the construction of forms, objects and meaning. Charles Gaines: Gridwork 19741989 traces Gaines's career, from his groundbreaking work in the 1970ssome of which debuted in exhibitions at famed New York galleries Leo Castelli and John Weberto his investigations of subjectivity in the late 1980s. Exploring the ways in which Gaines's early works on paper can be viewed as a crucial bridge between the first generation conceptualists of the 1960s and 1970s and the conceptually-based practices of artists who emerged in the ensuing decades, the exhibition includes rare and never-before-seen works, some of which were presumed lost.
