81 Leonard Gallery is pleased to present Pluperfect: An Action of Continued Relevance.

The works on view in Pluperfect: an action of continued relevance present an understanding of evolution as a continuous process, highlighting the human ability to use moments of what we think of as finished activities and actions to further growth. Artists may consider this in their own practice and personal development, or within the grand scheme of collective humanity. Manifested in the work is both the desire to stay relevant and contemporary as well as an embracing of past references. To be forward-thinking, one must also be referential.
