January 23 - March 21, 2004
Levy and Goldie Paley Galleries
This exhibition of drawings, paintings, and objects from 1965 to the present will be Immendorff’s first solo museum show in America. It brings his densely encoded tableaux of postwar Germany and his acute feel for late modernism’s internal contradictions to public attention, in a moment when many of them will resonate against the stresses generated by the current critical reconsideration of the ideologies of Right and Left and the apparent dichotomies between Dada inflected idea-art and the discursive use of traditional graphic and painterly mediums.

Absalon: Cells, Models, and Drawings”
November 5 - December 12, 1999
Goldie Paley Gallery
Absalon created an oeuvre that, in its compression of form and conception, offers an alternative way to process information and experience the world. In the spirit of early modernist architecture, Absalon sought to “ elevate the utility and necessity of everyday objects to a principally aesthetic plane.” He proposed to alter human behavior by changing and redesigning all aspects of the built environment; he created a total artwork, geometric, abstracted, and unified by the color white. And yet, his universal vision was designed to fit only a single person—himself.

January 22 - March 14, 1999

A work in progress; a room sized installation of kite-tail sculptures - linear assemblages of circular forms and irregular fragments of circles. Cut from aluminum and scored to catch the light, the individual pieces hang from plastic monofilaments (fishing-lines) attached to the open ceiling grid of the gallery. Randomly influenced by natural forces, the kite-tails will whisper, move, and metamorphose in the room’s faint air currents and dramatically changing natural light; echoing the more intense pressures of “civilized” life, they will interact with visitors who traverse the gallery.
