PONTIAC - The Museum of New Art presents David Hendren,
on view through June 9, 2007. David Hendren's new paintings and
installation at the Museum of New Art (MONA) offer passages,
entrances and exits, detours and cul-de-sacs, and repeatedly asks
the viewer to come to a new decision about abstraction in the new
millennium. These different possibilities of abstraction — opening
new doors, often while moving backward in space — engender new
spatial constellations.
They affect what is behind, what remains initially hidden from view, and necessitate unforeseen changes in direction and sidestepping gestures. Hendren's sculptural use of paint is conceived as a model for our 21st Century compulsions, contra-dictions and strictures, while also hinting at new possibilities for future aesthetic decisions. |
