Join exhibiting artists Noel Anderson and Christopher Page in conversation around the themes in the current Clifford Gallery exhibition HOLES.About the artists:Noel W Anderson (b. Louisville, Ky.) received an MFA from Indiana University in Printmaking, and an MFA from Yale University in Sculpture. He is an assistant professor at The New School. Anderson utilizes print-media and arts-based-research to explore the mediation of socially constructed images, with particular focus on black masculinity and celebrity. He incorporates images from archival and contemporary sources, using both bureaucratic and commercial references. More than a surface, his works are sites where body politics and myth combine as networks of manipulation. Through the investigation of process, the viewer may anticipate police looming behind black male bodies standing in a line, and public artifacts looming in the social consciousness.In 2018, Noel was awarded the NYFA artist fellowship grant and the prestigious Jerome Prize. His solo exhibition Blak Origin Moment debuted at the Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati) in February 2017 and traveled to the Hunter Museum of American Art in October 2019. His first monograph, Blak Origin Moment, was also recently published by‎ Black Dog Publishing. His first NY museum exhibition, Black Excellence, opens this fall at the University Art Museum at the University of Albany (SUNY).Christopher Page is a painter of light, shadow and reflection. He makes  trompe l’oeil  paintings on canvas, and directly on walls and ceilings, that confuse the boundaries between real and virtual space. Paintings of framed paintings with shadows cast across their surfaces call into question where the work begins and ends; mirrors that don't reflect us back confront us with our own absence; glowing skies distort architectural space. And yet, the  paintings are not trompe l’oeil in the traditional sense. Whilst drawing from Baroque illusion, they hover on the edge of abstraction, thinking as they do about our flattened world of screens.Page’s work has been exhibited internationally. His work was recently included in ‘Wonder and Wakefulness: The Nature of Pliny the Elder,’ Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, New York NY (2023). He has previously exhibited at Villa Lontana, Rome, Italy and Museum of Contemporary Art Storefront, Los Angeles Calif.To be followed by the opening reception for HOLES in the lobby of Little Hall

Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.

This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia TreibOpening reception Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the 4:30pm Art LectureCurated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.
