‘THE SHAPING OF AMERICA’ AT THE PAINTING CENTER IN NEW YORK

January 4 – 29, 2022

‘The Shaping of America’ features the work of ten women artists embodying the tradition of negotiating space, translating lived experience into abstract painted form, and pivoting our understanding of the American Landscape. The artists and their work illustrate that landscapes cannot be interpreted without considering the connections artists have to memory, experience, and ownership. The exhibition was formerly on view in 2019 at AnnMarie Sculpture Garden and Art Center in Solomon, Maryland. A catalog with an essay titled ‘Shaping of America: Medium-Specificity as Passive-Aggressive Resistance’ was written by Art Historian Vittorio Colaizzi. Artists include: Pam Cardwell, Janis Goodman, Cecily Kahn, Ying Li, Kayla Mohammadi, Deirdre Murphy, Carrie Patterson, Jennifer Printz, Rebecca Rutstein and Kendra Wadsworth.
