SIZE MATTERS: the exhibition that asks that question
Curator William Norton has assembled artists from Japan, China, the USA and the UAE to get to the heart of the issue that keeps artists up every night: Does Size Matter? Asian cultures conceive the importance of scale in relationship to value differently than Western artists. This question of scale is the driving vision behind this show, from Chris Ketchie’s 10’ x 24’ painting on 1000 wooden blocks to Yuki Okamoto’s precise detailed paintings on fingernails to Camelia Mohebi’s paintings on traditional Middle Eastern drum heads to Jonah Bokaer’s 6’ x 6’ Performance Drawing. The artworks in this exhibition are purposefully envisioned to work their best conceptually and visually in the scale they’re presented in.
