Annabeth Marks, Slipper, 2024, Courtesy of the Artist and Parker Gallery, Los Angeles.
Crossing the Chasm takes inspiration from Geoffrey A. Moore’s book to explore how artists navigate metaphorical divides in their work. The exhibition examines the challenges of bridging gaps in materiality, identity, and temporality, emphasizing transformation and experimentation. Through layered processes and dynamic forms, the artworks reveal tensions between permanence and change, the physical and the digital, attraction and discomfort. Rather than offering fixed interpretations, the show encourages viewers to engage with ambiguity and shifting perspectives. It highlights the act of crossing these conceptual chasms as one of risk, renewal, and discovery. Ultimately, the exhibition underscores the power of art to navigate uncertainty and forge new connections.
