Don’t miss this show. Most of the work is breathtaking in its beauty and craftsmanship. Here is the opening quote, which I think is really smart and insightful.
I value the referential quality of art, the fact that a work can allude to things or states of being without in any way representing them. The ideas that give rise to a work can be quite diffuse, so I would describe my usual working process as a kind of distillation- trying to make coherence out of things that can seem contradictory. But coherence is not the same thing as resolution. The most interesting art for me retains a flickering quality, where opposed ideas can be held in tense coexistence.

Here are some photos of the works on the main veranda, just to give you a vague sense of what you are in for.
