My painting Speculation No. 3, acrylic and micaceous iron oxide on plywood, 10 x 7.75 x 1″, 2016 is included in Matter. at Gray Contemporary in Houston through August 1, 2020.

From the curatorial statement:

“A long history of neglected attention to another type of pandemic arose by the demonstrations of many brave young activists and concerned citizens in this country to the abuse and systematic racism that has plagued the American Black community. Through Black Lives Matter this inspirational movement has now spread worldwide. Our current exhibition Matter. is comprised of artists from different racial backgrounds joined together by the color black to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement along with all the protests worldwide.”

★ Gallery’s percentage of all sales from exhibition will be donated to Black Lives Matter Global Network. ★

Happy birthday Barbara Chase-Riboud, who was born on this day in Philadelphia. In the late 1960s, Chase-Riboud began creating a series of sculptures dedicated to the Civil Rights leader Malcolm X. Created in the familiar slab-shape of a “stele,” an early type of monument, Chase-Riboud’s “Malcolm X #3” combines cast bronze with silk and wool. By harmonizing these contradictory materials, she creates associations between rigid and supple, heavy and light, horizontal and vertical, alluding to the struggle for and beauty of cultural integration. Hear the artist talk about her work on our YouTube channel.

Infra refers to Infrathin, a concept coined by Marcel Duchamp.  When asked for a conceptual definition of the term “infrathin,”   Duchamp  replied that the notion is impossible to define, “one can only give  examples of it:”  I think of it as intangible, yet undeniably   present,  beyond our full comprehension. Both eternal and ephemeral.   Undefinable,  ungraspable. Present. InfraThin.
