An upcoming exhibition, "Tracks" by painter and printmaker Ingrid Calame will be shown at James Cohan Gallery in New York, from December 12—February 8. From the gallery:
"Ingrid Calame goes out into the world to discover what it looks like, tracing the marks she finds on public and private streets from Wall Street to the LA River, from the Indy Speedway to a giant defunct public wading pool. Calame approaches the surface of the world as a drawing that we all crawl, walk, run and ride across, and ultimately get buried under. Her tracings are fragments of this found surface drawing. Like an archeologist of everyday life, Calame excavates the shards of life’s journeys, investigating issues of truth and translation. Since 1994, she has transcribed her tracings into three distinct bodies of work – drawings, paintings and wall drawings."
Ingrid Calame: Tracks is on view through February 8th at James Cohan Gallery, 533 West 26th Street, New York, NY.
