The Freedman Gallery at Albright College is pleased to present The names of objects might as well fall off, a solo exhibition of recent work by Queens, NY-based artist Clare Grill. The exhibition will be on view in the Main Gallery from August 27 through October 16, 2015 and is organized by Erin Riley-Lopez, curator of the Freedman Gallery.

Clare Grill’s six large-scale paintings may start out with a specific object in mind, but that is quickly obscured through process and technique—which is why the title of this exhibition, taken from the epic poem Midwinter Day (1978) by Bernadette Mayer, is completely fitting. Written in a single day, the poem takes the reader from waking dreams through the day and into the night; it is the minutiae of the poem, tracing the day, which perhaps is what makes it so interesting. The same could be said of looking at Clare Grill’s paintings: it’s all in the details. One must spend some time to really “see” the work.

Grill will lecture on her work on Thursday, October 1 at 4pm in Klein Lecture Hall, followed by a closing reception from 5 to 7pm in the Freedman Gallery.

A full-color, comprehensive catalogue will accompany the exhibition, including documentation from Grill’s recent exhibition at Zieher Smith & Horton Gallery, New York as well as essays by Erin Riley-Lopez and Chris Sharp, a writer and curator currently based in Mexico City.
