Paying a Visit to Mary

Paying a Visit to Mary, organized by curator Maxine Kopsa, refers to a line from Tell Me, a 1979 play about language by French artist Guy de Cointet that questions how reality is perceived and interpreted. Like the play, the exhibition explores language as it relates to personal narrative and contemporary storytelling. Constructed as a “call and response” between different voices represented by a group of carefully selected contemporary artists, Paying a Visit to Mary tells a romantic, conceptual, and highly specific story of our time and our present human condition. The exhibition is seen as a conversation amongst both the artists and the audience with whom their work engages.Paying a Visit to Mary is comprised of approximately twenty works by both emerging and more established artists, including Marc Camille Chaimowicz ; Guy de Cointet and Robert Wilhite ; Paul Elliman ; Melissa Gordon ; Gary Hill ; Experimental Jetset ; Jonas Ohlsson ; Willem Oorebeek ; Dexter Sinister ; Guido van der Werve and Emily Wardill .from January 31 to June 6, 2010The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield
