Mitchell-Innes & Nash announces Concrete Works, a summer group show of eight artists in its Chelsea space, on view from June 2 – July 27, 2007. Concrete Works includes photography, painting and sculpture from the early 20th century to the present. The exhibition explores the tension between formalist abstraction and materialism, and between aesthetics and process.

Artists in the exhibition are Walead Beshty, Daniel Lefcourt, Lucy McKenzie, László Moholy-Nagy, Albert Oehlen, Man Ray, Jessica Stockholder, and James Welling. Although the works on view employ diverse artistic approaches, they all utilize the strategies of high modernism. These works float between the literal and the metaphoric as they call attention to their materials and their means of production.

The exhibition will include new large-format color photographs by Beshty, a new wall sculpture by Lefcourt, a large charcoal drawing by McKenzie, color photographs by Moholy-Nagy, a black and white painting by Oehlen, two automatic paintings by Man Ray, two sculptures by Stockholder, and new photographs from Welling’s Quadrilaterals series.

Art Reviews of Concrete Works

New York Times
July 6, 2007
Martha Schwendener"...Your thoughts might drift to another show in town that is similarly dedicated to formalism, abstraction, materials and process. But where Richard Serra’s epic retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art is all about heaviness — both literally, with its heroic multi-ton objects, and figuratively, with its oracle-like musings and palpable assertion of art historical significance —“Concrete Works” is a congenial multimedia affair in which both art and history feel like agile, easily mixed-and-matched concepts...."
