On View: OCT. 23 – DEC. 19, 2010

Parallax: Peter Rostovsky and Paul Winstanley

This exhibition of paintings by established artist Paul Winstanley and younger mid-career artist Peter Rostovsky resists the structure of an ordinary solo show, instead offering a visual conversation between artists, or parallax. This idea resounds when artists unified by the same common project come upon similar obstacles but also parallel solutions. These are the moments of not only unique discovery, but also of more comprehensive analysis of the object of study. In presenting this model, CAF peels back the veneer of institutional authority by allowing the audience an intimate view behind the artist’s mind, studio practice, and discursive research.
