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 Treib.Opening reception Wednesday, September 24, following the 4:30pm Art Lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesMore information at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/holes/*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.
