Nanda Vigo’s La Casa sotto la foglia (1965-68)

Ned Vena’s paintings combine the artist’s astute readings of minimalism, post-painterly abstraction, and op-art with a unique technical process to render austere meditations on materiality and art history. For this exhibition, Vena will produce a new series of works utilizing common steel doors and adhesive vinyl, eschewing traditional substrates and mediums to emphasize fundamental concerns of form, process, and concept.

(works on view re-create two groundbreaking exhibitions that Flavin mounted in 1967 at New York’s Kornblee Gallery, then located at the nearby and architecturally similar 58 East 79th Street)
