Each panel: 96 x 36 inchesCHART and Van Doren Waxter are pleased to announce Karin Davie: “To Boldly Go Where No Man’s Gone Before”, a two-venue presentation of fourteen new paintings at 74 Franklin Street and 23 East 73rd Street. Opening Friday, May 12th, and on view through June 30th, the concurrent exhibitions mark the largest presentation of work by Davie in New York City. This will be Davie’s second solo exhibition with CHART, following her successful debut with the gallery in 2021.The title of the exhibition, “To Boldly Go Where No Man’s Gone Before”, references Star Trek’s original opening monologue, serving as wry commentary on the artist’s plight and quest for originality, transformation, and to express something beyond ourselves, as well as a tongue-in-cheek allusion to the seemingly impossible but not altogether implausible relationship between Feminism and abstraction. Allusions to travel—being “beamed up” to another place—and microscopic or telescopic investigation serve as metaphors for the nature of art making and the journey both artist and viewer take when ascribing meaning to abstraction. -
