De Boer (Los Angeles, CA) is pleased to present Athletes and Spectators, a group exhibition that brings together four international painters whose practices interrogate the physical, psychological, and cultural architectures of performance. Featuring new and recent works by Patrick Groth (New York, NY), Meri Toivanen (Antwerp, BE), Caroline Zurmely (Ann Arbor, MI), and Karsten Krogh-Hansen (Antwerp, BE), the exhibition reframes the familiar roles of "athlete" and "spectator" as intertwined modes of seeing, striving, and being seen.
