Medium = Message?

Corridor Contemporary is proud to present our latest group exhibition Medium = Message?.

Does medium inform message or rather act as an isolated conduit for the artist’s intentions? Is medium solely a vehicle for meaning, or is meaning inextricably linked to materiality, construction, and process?

Medium = Message? presents a diverse group of local and international artists whose work engenders questions such as the aforementioned.

When exploring this disparate, yet unified, body of work, consider questions of whether the materials inform message, whether the message informs the materials, or perhaps consider an isolated approach in which the notions of medium and message exist independently of one another.

Featured Artists:

Samantha Carell | Bradley Hart | Taher Jaoui | Michael Manning | Anthony Rondinone | Kenny Scharf | Tyler Shields | Arinze Stanley | Michel Platnic
