Nancy Baker Cahill: Through Lines
Opening Reception: September 6th from 4-6pm
On view from: September 6, 2024 - January 17, 2025
Introducing Nancy Baker Cahill: Through Lines, a mid-career survey exhibition traveling from the Georgia Museum of Art.
Expanding upon her background in traditional media, the artist redefines the possibilities of drawing in contemporary art. Through Lines moves across spatial dimensions and media, following Baker Cahill as she investigates materiality and immateriality. Featuring drawings, sculptural installations, and single- and multi-channel videos, the exhibition traces Baker Cahill鈥檚 mark-making from traditional modes of artistic production into new media. The works invite reconsiderations of the art historical canon in the face of emerging technologies while examining site, time, and space as they relate to the physical body, the digital, the permanent, and the ephemeral.
