SECRIST | BEACH is a reimagining of the contemporary art world: at a time of great transformation and migration away from the gallery space, SECRIST|BEACH has reinstated the power of presence, community, and exploration. Under bow-trussed ceilings, the space simultanously shares synergistic solo shows alongside group invitational shows of emerging to established artists. Situated in the middle of the gallery space is a modern-day Salon, curated by the artists across their practices, inspirations, and concepts, and embodied in artist discussions, events, performances, and more.
Carrie Secrist Gallery, at first Gallery A, was established in 1992 in the River North gallery district of Chicago. The adventurous spirit with which Carrie began reaches its full fruition with SECRIST | BEACH at 1801 W. Hubbard Street, showered with light, conversation, and an intimacy with artwork, artists, and ideas
For Of all colors, Anne Lindberg created a sweeping horizontal sculpture made with thousands of lengths of fine cotton thread pulled taut from wall to wall under the bow truss skylights of SECRIST | BEACH. With a gap at the artist’s eye level, the form deepens in dark blue hues and gradually fade to almost white. Flashes of hot color will appear to float within the gradient of blue.
In addition, 14 new drawings made with graphite and colored pencil on mat board will pick up elements compositionally or chromatically from within the thread installation. Ranging in scale and number of panels, Lindberg’s drawings explore the luminous possibilities of hue. Here, intermittent bold bands of contrasting color shift implications of layered space while referencing phenomenological conditions such as time of day, viewpoint and atmosphere.
