Space - Sight - Line, our Spring show, explores the way artists play with visual perception. The perspective of the viewer is a key dynamic in this show. The works included are playfully deceptive, often using ingenious techniques that invite the viewer to stop and rethink where they are and what they are seeing. Surprising uses of space, light, and unexpected media and approaches to art-making empower the art. It makes us look at ourselves looking and invites interaction – and will bring a whole new level of drama and delight to experiencing the iconic architecture of The Church.

The exhibition began with an invitation to artist Christine Sciulli to create a site-specific work in the rafters of The Church. Inspired by water, her piece is both a sculpture and a 3-dimensional drawing in space. Different angles change the shape of the piece and the relationship between its elements, turning the vast ceiling of The Church into her canvas. 

Artists will include Uta Barth, Walead Beshty, Mel Bochner, Tara Donovan, Jim Lambie, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Matthew Satz, Christine Sciulli, Keith Sonnier, and Steven J. Yazzie. The exhibition is curated by Sara Cochran.

We acknowledge the generosity of Sherry and Douglas Oliver for their partial support of this exhibition.
