Giuseppe Gabellone - Wanderings of the Mind's Eye

Museum of Contemporary Art MCA, Chicago

Wanderings of the Mind's Eye: Photographs by Illinois Artists from the MCA Collection
September 14, 2002 - January 5, 2003

This exhibition presents works that evoke reveries, dreams, or other workings of the subconscious by eleven artists who were at one time based in Illinois. From artists such as Ken Josephson and Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, who search the world for images that speak of dreamlike states, poetic situations, or images that refer to legend or myth, to Jeanne Dunning and Mary Ahrendt, who control or manipulate images to create startling results, each work in Wanderings of the Mind’s Eye transports the viewer from the everyday world. This exhibition is organized by Curator Lynne Warren.

Giuseppe Gabellone
September 7, 2002 - January 5, 2003

Gabellone examines the duplicity between representation and objects by laboriously constructing sculptures only to destroy them soon after he takes a photograph. His photographs become ghostly images of sculptures that no longer physically exist, questioning the documentary function of photographs and the permanence of sculptures. In addition to photographs, this exhibition will include a large resin sculpture, further complicating the artist’s ideas about presence and absence. This will be the first exhibition in the United States of Gabellone’s work.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Exhibition Committee Fund.

Additional support is provided by Instituto Italiano Di Cultura. Air transportation is provided by American Airlines, the official airline of the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Giuseppe Gabellone is organized by MCA Manilow Senior Curator Francesco Bonami and Curatorial Assistant Julie Rodrigues.
