Coloring features five artists who use color to investigate formal, phenomenological, cultural, and historical issues. Bill Adams produces prop-like objects that collapse painting and sculpture; Paul Stephen Benjamin stacks discarded video monitors that play sputtering remixes of archival footage; Rutherford Chang meditates on music and time using multiple copies of the Beatles’ 1968 White Album; Anne Lindberg installs taut accumulations of thread to create clouds of hovering color; and Kate Shepherd produces monochrome paintings with elegantly fractured surfaces.
