Julie Mehretu: Our Days, Like a Shadow (a non-abiding hauntology) brings together new Black Paintings and a collaboration with sculptor Nairy Baghramian — TRANSpaintings/Upright Brackets — translucent works on monofilament polyester that liberate painting from the wall, absorbing light, shadow, and viewers into their permeable surfaces. The Black Paintings begin from saturated black grounds, building emergent chromatic strata through improvisation rather than image. Choreographer John Jasperse's new dance work Wandering activates all three gallery floors over four evenings, the dancing body becoming witness, activator, and ghost among the paintings.
