American Histories: Curated by Alexandra Schwartz

18 Nov 2016-7 Jan 2017

Overview

Pi Artworks London is pleased to announce American Histories curated by New-York based curator Alexandra Schwartz. American Histories is the second of five exhibitions that make up Pi Artworks London’s Curatorial Season that runs from October 2016 – July 2017. For the season Övül Ö. Durmusoglu, Alexandra Schwartz, Sacha Craddock, Oliver Sumner, and Morgan Quaintance have been invited to devise and develop their own curatorial project working with artists predominantly or entirely from outside the gallery’s roster. American Histories brings together nine artists, all based in the United States, who explore cultural histories through figurative works on paper. Their work reflects their own diverse heritages and influences while speaking more broadly to the array of international cultures that make up the United States. The exhibition spotlights how artists examine and synthesize such themes through a personal lens.
