Ginger Wolfe-Suarez: Theory of a Family
February 5 – March 13, 2010
Opening reception, February 5, 7-10pm.
Silverman Gallery is pleased to present “Ginger Wolfe-Suarez: Theory of a Family,” an exhibition of new sculpture and installations by Ginger Wolfe-Suarez on view from February 5 - March 13, 2010.
The artist’s first solo show in San Francisco features an array of disparate objects that negotiate shifting concepts of affect and memory. Using common house-hold items as well as rocks, wood, mirrors, transparencies and light, Wolfe-Suarez creates site specific installations that explore poetic metaphors of portraiture and figurations through line, mass, and geometry. These atmospheric and psychologically charged spaces draw from the language of minimalism and conceptual art, excavating the personal through a sustained meditation on object-hood. At once intimate and objective, her complex visual language resonates with the work of Robert Morris and Eva Hesse, weaving her own history into questions of process and material.
Ginger Wolfe-Suarez received her MFA from U.C. Berkeley, and lives and works in the East Bay. She is currently teaching art theory at San Francisco Art Institute. On February 25th, she’ll be speaking about her work as part of the BIG City Forum Lecture Series at LAX/ART in Los Angeles.
