PAST EXHIBITION
Linda Karshan: Time Being
October 9, 2008—November 15, 2008

Press Release

This exhibition, the first major U.S. retrospective of the renowned artist's work, aims to provide an overview of Linda Karshan's oeuvre from the past 15 years. The selection includes over 40 works on paper from 1993 to 2008.

Linda Karshan uses timed breathing and rhythmic coordinates to draw vertical and horizontal dashes that form square-, rectangle-, and grid-like jottings. The drawings are the result of an inner choreography, in which Karshan works her way around the page, turning it counter-clockwise on the stroke of 2,4,6 or 8 before starting again, hovering over the paper on the table "listening to those internal numbers and rhythms that guide my moves". The dance-like process is most evident in a 2007 video collaboration with dancer Viviana Durante and filmmakers Michael Nunn and William Trevitt, which will be projected in the gallery during the retrospective.
