SECRIST | BEACH exhibits contemporary, emerging, and established artists in all media. SECRIST | BEACH is Carrie Secrist's next iteration, after her 32 years at Gallery A turned Carrie Secrist Gallery in Chicago. The new space at 1801 West Hubbard Street in Chicago, allows for larger scale artworks as well as affords the opportunity to formally develop investigations around aesthetic interests through in depth solos exhibitions and large-ranging survey exhibitions that partnered internationally known artists alongside those mid-career and emerging.
With a foundational commitment to be in dialogue with community and the artworks on show, in April of 2024, SECRIST | BEACH opened the 10,000-square-foot space featuring double bow-trussed ceilings flooded with natural light. One half of the space is dedicated to challenging and solidifying the practices of represented artists. The other half presents a curated group exhibitions that will conceptually elaborate upon the concurrent solo exhibition while introducing new ideas. Bisecting the two spaces is a salon - a dedicated physical room for artistic collaborations and space to relax in community with the art. This new programming is squarely aimed at the gallery goer with the intent of dialogic real time engagement.
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.
