Machine Learning

Sonja Roesch, Houston

Curated by Matthew Deleget

The Gallery Sonja Roesch is pleased to announce the group exhibition Machine Learning, featuring New York City-based artists Henry Brown, Terry Haggerty, Gilbert Hsiao, and Douglas Melini. The exhibition is curated by Matthew Deleget, artist and co-founder of MINUS SPACE in Brooklyn, New York.

The title of the exhibition, Machine Learning, is inspired by a subfield of artificial intelligence concerned with the development of algorithms that allow computers to “learn”. Machine learning recognizes patterns within massive sets of information and has a wide range of real-world applications, the most ubiquitous of which is the Internet search engine.

The exhibition Machine Learning examines the relationship between abstraction and the information age, and presents four artists making new forms of pattern-based painting. The exhibition raises multiple questions. How has pattern-based abstraction responded to the overwhelming presence of the Internet? What are abstract artists’ core concerns with every conceivable type of information now available at the click of a button? How has pattern-based abstraction digested the appearance, logic, and behavior of the Internet, the very tool that informs it?

The exhibition has traveled to The Boyden Gallery, at St. Mary's College of Maryland, The Painting Center (www.thepaintingcenter.org) in New York, NY, and Gallery Sonja Roesch (www.gallerysonjaroesch.com) in Houston, TX. A catalog will accompany the exhibition.

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 8th, 2008, 5-7pm
Panel Discussion with Henry Brown, Matthew Deleget, and Gilbert Hsiao: March 8th at 4 pm
