Zoernig's project is quite simple. It consists of three components; the walls on the floor of the gallery, the blue corridor, and a monitor playing a videotape he executed here in Chicago. In a very direct manner, Zobernig has reversed the relationship between the illusory and the real by using the walls just outside the gallery to create illusion and by denying this function to walls within the gallery. -taken from brochure

Hans Hofman/Exuberant Eye examines the artistic production and experimentation of Hans Hofmann (1880-1966). Presenting oil paintings and works on paper, this show considers Hofmann's career from the late 1930s to the mid-1960s, decades during which he explored various themes and styles. Hofmann's towering presence in twentieth-century art rises from two foundations of accomplishment and influence-his art and his teaching. His role in shaping American art was profound, and the works in Hans Hofmann/Exuberant Eye are a testament to the artist's brilliance, originality, adventurous spirit, and continued relevance and importance to the twientieth century. -abstract taken from book
