SHANNON FINLEY The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction. - Ray Kurzweil Shannon Finley s recent body of artwork represents an extension of his ongoing investigation of the inherent romanticism that lurks often hidden within the realm of science and technology. Utilizing abstract painting as a means of executing this investigation, a combination of geometric forms that include orbs, rhombi and waves form a dialectic that is equal parts analytical and alchemical. The paintings themselves are built with layers upon layers of medium and color that form a surface that is ripe for interpretation. The results are prismatic 2- dimensional structures that appear to distribute light through an interlocking combination of color and form. Finley is influenced by the writings of contemporary techno-futurist, Ray Kurzwiel and his posit that the rate of artificial intelligence will soon surpass that of the human. In today s increasingly complicated society, the computer, as a tool, delivers the majority of the information we consume. The base method of that delivery is binary, but exponentially it becomes aural and visual. With this simple evolution from code to consumption, our inevitable relationship with artificial intelligence has been sealed. With a dose of optimism, Finley s artwork mediates human interaction while simultaneously encouraging an evolutionary response. IMAGE: Shannon Finley, Googol (installation view), September, 2016.

ANNE LINDBERG Anne Lindberg s recent relocation to the Hudson River Valley in New York from the Midwest has seen her practice deepen in ways that conjoin personal and abstract voices with a new sense of profundity. Using language and literary references as a compass; her newest body of work from late 2016 has an atmospheric inclination towards rhythmic layers of slow interwoven tones allowing luminous colors to permeate the drawings. Titles of the new work are fragments of language, sometimes lines of published poetry yet most often formed by the artist. The dynamic character, history and light of her new home have imbued a sense of the sublime on much as it has on a lineage of past and current artists. From the Hudson River School painters Fredric Edwin Church and Thomas Cole to contemporary artists Agnes Martin and Vija Celmins, Anne Lindberg understands her studio practice as a paced and daily conversation with place, in body and mind. By physically embedding lines into pliant mat board, creating a sensual and metaphysical weight, these new drawings carries with it a quiet reserve and formal abstraction generating fundamental questions about time, causality and sequence.
