At the Saint Louis Art Museum, Remote Viewing features more than 80 works by eight influential contemporary artists including Franz Ackermann, Steve DiBenedetto, Carroll Dunham, Ati Maier, The Saint Louis Art Museum announces the June 18 opening of
Remote Viewing (Invented Worlds in Recent Painting and Drawing), a free
exhibition that brings to St. Louis more than 80 works by eight dynamic
contemporary artists. Traveling to the city from the Whitney Museum of
American Art in New York, Remote Viewing invites visitors to discover how
contemporary art can transform the chaos and information overload of our daily
lives into “invented worlds” that exist somewhere between abstraction and
representation.
Using intense color, strong graphics, and varied scale, the artists featured in this
exhibition—Franz Ackermann, Steve DiBenedetto, Carroll Dunham, Ati Maier,
Julie Mehretu, Matthew Ritchie, Alexander Ross, and Terry Winters—seduce
viewers into futuristic societies within the galleries, creating the illusion of an
alternate universe.
