Family Workshop
Taking its title from French mystic, philosopher, and activist Simone Weil, Gravity & Grace examines how objects can function as physical traces and intangible links between the visible and invisible. Including work by Alice Channer, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Isa Genzken, On Kawara, Fred Sandback, and Francesca Woodman, the exhibition reveals our innate desire to make and mark the traces of our lives, exploring time not just as subject matter, but also as an engine of relativity.
AAM exhibitions are made possible by the Marx Exhibition Fund. General exhibition support is provided by the Toby Devan Lewis Visiting Artist Fund. Gravity & Grace is supported by the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation for Latin American Art, and funded in part by the AAM National Council.
