The Monochromatic Field spans five decades and features both monochromatic works and works that use a monochromatic field. Emblematic of radical neg ation and a complete break with the past when it first appeared in the hist ory of art\, the monochrome remains a critical gesture with multiple and pr ovocative implications.
The Monochromatic Field also debuts the secon d project by LOCATION: a roving collective for the acquisition of visual ar t for permanent collections. This collective donates work by emerging artis ts who are not yet represented in public collections by soliciting one hund red dollars from fifty individuals for the purchase of the art. The work en tering the Belkin collection is a new series of monochromes by Arabella Cam pbell that stand as a central catalyst for this exhibition. Campbell’s work has been made specifically for the context of the Belkin Art Gallery and a ddresses its architecture and building materials.
Other artists in th e exhibition include Art & Language\, Ben\, Tom Burrows\, Kenneth Coutts-Sm ith\, Image Bank\, Ray Johnson\, Gary Lee-Nova\, Eric Metcalfe\, Stephen Pr ina\, Ron Terada\, Glenn Toppings\, Vincent Trasov\, and Ian Wallace.
The Molnar Collection: A View of European Art will be exhibited in the Pri nt Gallery and includes works on paper by Eugene Boudin\, Antoine Bourdelle \, Ernst Kirchner\, Astride Maillol\, Pierre-Paul Prud’hon\, Hubert Robert\ , Auguste Rodin and others. These historical works compliment pieces in ou r own collection and are on loan to the gallery from Dennis Molnar.
