LINEAR THINKING: OPENS, SAT. FEB 19, 6-8PM


A line, simply, takes on a multitude meanings: division, horizon, object, space, movement, shape, frenzied activity, structure, edge, to lead, to follow, a beginning and an end. Marty Walker Gallery presents prints byTed Kincaid, Tom Orr, Jay Shinn, and more - artists who question the physical sense of boundary by using line, drawn or implied, to break the surface plane and extend beyond flat space to activate a palpitating openness. The exhibition vacillates between rigidly structured investigations that recall Sol Lewitt and the free-flowing Duchampian randomness of chance.

Exhibition opening: Saturday, February 19th, 6-8pm.
