Held Together

Justin Chance Flores Audrey Gair Mimi Park

Silke Lindner is pleased to present Held Together, a group exhibition with works by Justin Chance, Flores, Audrey Gair, and Mimi Park. Created using different methods and techniques, these artworks are related through an attention to how elements are combined to make images, forms, and fields. They are bound together, stacked, tenuously held in unison, and allowed to fall apart. In each work, the artist has conceptualized the transformational forces that separate the work into discrete pieces, and those that hold them together differently. As a group, they exhibit dynamics of assembly and separation that create a dialogue around the internal cohesion of each arrangement and the boundary conditions that delineate them.
