Polaris

Katie Grinnan opens the three-part exhibition series Locus Remix. Three Contemporary Positions with Polaris. Utilizing both the indoor spaces of the Schindler House and its gardens, Grinnan presents new work that grows out of themes she has long been exploring. The exhibition includes sculpture, sound and video works and explores issues of recontextualization, scale, time, and the relationship of built architecture to landscape.

Locus Remix. Three Contemporary Positions

This series features Katie Grinnan, Ismail Farouk (November 6, 2008 - January 4, 2009) and Dorit Margreiter (January 15, 2009 - March 8, 2009); three artists who work with place, meaning, and representation. In each case, the artist will draw from cultural iconography, the poetics and the politics of space, and the sacred and profane in architecture. In three distinct ways, the act of cultural interpretation is questioned and problemitized.
