At the center of the exhibition, we find an historical 1974 work from French conceptual artist Daniel Buren. Here, Buren’s trademark stripes, which by this point had already emerged as the dominant motif in his practice, function like arrows. The repeating pattern calls attention not to itself, but instead gestures out towards the architecture that contains, the body that views, and the abstract forces that control. 

Each of the surrounding works employ a kindred sense of visual economy in their approach to a subject that resists representation but remains present. They lean, hang, drip, hover, and obscure in a series of unwieldy disruptions. 

Comprised of works by Daniel Buren, Sam Lewitt, Wilfredo Prieto, Charles Ray, Pamela Rosenkranz, and Joe Zorrilla the show includes one photograph, two paintings, and three sculptural works.
