Nothing Compared to This

CAC Contemporarty Arts Center, Cincinnati

Ambient, incidental and new minimal tendencies in current art. This exhibition looks at the works of artists who occupy and control space by subtle, often indirect, means. The most salient distinction of today's art in this vein, however, is that it is often not meant to be contemplated, or even directly looked at. Ambient art is peripheral. It infuses space, as much as it occupies it.

Ambient, incidental and new minimal tendencies in current art

September 25 - November 28, 2004
(Cinergy Foundation Gallery, Dorothy W. Reed Gallery, Federated Department Stores Foundation Gallery, James A. & Mary Miller Gallery, Larry & Rhonda Sheakley Foundation Gallery, and Lucille & Philip Meyers, Sr. Gallery)

Ours is an era in which big and loud are among our highest values, a time when the quiet joys of contemplation are yielded routinely to the excitements of intensity. Many artists today, however, are working against the widespread idea that works of art must insist upon our attention, must command the space they occupy. For some, such a way of working is a kind of new humility, perhaps born of renewed interest in ancient traditions of reflection and meditation. For other artists it is tactic of infiltration - an insinuation rather than an insistence; a subliminal communication, in the place of a shouted one.

This exhibition looks at the works of artists who occupy and control space by subtle, often indirect, means. The most salient distinction of today's art in this vein, however, is that it is often not meant to be contemplated, or even directly looked at. Ambient art is peripheral. It infuses space, as much as it occupies it.

Participating artists include: Ricci Albenda, Francis Cape, Martin Creed, Do Ho Suh, Brian Eno, Gaylen Gerber, Liam Gillick, Dominque Gonzalez-Foerster, Kara Hamilton, Vincent Mazeau, Jorge Pardo, Todd Pavlisko, Karin Sander, Tavares Strachan, Iran do Esp’rito Santo, Rikrit Tiranvanija, Andrea Zittel.

This exhibition is organized by the CAC and curated by Curator at Large, Charles Desmarais.
