Some Artists

November 1 – December 20, 2014 Opening: Saturday, November 1, 6-9pm

Participating Artists David Diao, Mary Beth Edelson, Alfred Jensen, George Maciunas, Loren Munk, Ward Shelley, John Zinsser

MINUS SPACE is delighted to present the group exhibition Some Artists, highlighting several generations of artists whose works investigate and visualize artists, greater art historical moments, and related aesthetic research primarily through charts, maps, and diagrams. The exhibition will feature new and historical paintings, drawings, and prints by seven artists: David Diao, Mary Beth Edelson, Alfred Jensen, George Maciunas, Loren Munk, Ward Shelley, and John Zinsser.

Works included in Some Artists examine and subjectively reimagine subjects, such as Alfred Barr’s landmark chart Cubism and Abstract Art illustrating the development of Modern Art (Ward Shelley); the Abstract Expressionist painter Barnett Newman’s unfinished paintings (David Diao); the growth of Fluxus and the expanded performing arts movement between 1959-1966 (George Maciunas); artists and galleries in the Post-War Los Angeles and San Francisco art scenes (Loren Munk); the emergence of the Feminist art movement in the early 1970s (Mary Beth Edelson); seminal NYC galleries and their affiliated artists spanning the 1960s-2000s (John Zinsser); and color systems as they relate to energy flow (Alfred Jensen).
