Currently on view at Honor Fraser Gallery, Los Angeles is “Liquid Crystal Palace” curated by Rhizome Editor and Curator Michael Connor and Nate Hitchcock. This exhibition is an opportunity to look at “Liquid Villa” (2000) by Jeremy Blake alongside more recent artworks by Jeffrey Baij, Petra Cortright, Chris Coy, Sara Ludy, Rafaël Rozendaal, and Travess Smalley. By bringing these works together, the exhibition will draw out shared concerns that have been obscured by the passage of time and Blake’s tragic death. “Liquid Villa” shifts between lucid, crisp dream architecture and colorful, blurring abstraction, unsettling the viewer between pictorial depth and flatness. These shifts take place from moment to moment, but also within particular scenes.
