We are very pleased to announce Mette Winckelmann's upcoming solo exhibition, SLIP, opening on April 30, from 5-8 PM.
In the exhibition SLIP, Mette Winckelmann presents a series of new paintings and textile works. Paint, fabric, and composition merge in an exploration of the material’s meaning, history, and potential. The exhibition revolves around a movement — a “slip” — that points to letting go, losing control, and allowing something to slide, both mentally and physically, as well as to the intimate and body-near aspects of materiality.
Winckelmann engages with the loss that occurred when painting turned away from narrative, representation, and lived experience in favor of abstraction and formal experimentation in its most distilled modernist form. In this process, patterns, textiles, and folk art were often marginalized as low-cultural expressions. With SLIP, Winckelmann revisits this rupture, bringing forward changeability, transience, and traces of the body through her tactile works.
Opening reception:
Thursday, April 30, 5:00–8:00 PM
