“Painting As” is an exhibition of new artworks by Matt Rich. Expanding the traditional definition of painting, these works include a looser, fluid exchange between the categorical elements of painted marks-on-surface-on-support. Each installation configures the painted canvas in space: mounting it directly to the wall; suspending or pulling it out off the wall; or allowing it to flop onto the floor. The ampersand ("&") is a frequent motif, self-referencing the additive process of building the paintings, as well as positing "and" (instead of "or") as a guiding ethos of acceptance and connection. On view Feb. 8 through Mar. 5 Artist reception: 12-2 p.m. Feb. 24 Gallery hours: 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
