White Columns is proud to present a focused survey of paintings produced over the past decade by the New York-based artist and musician Annie Pearlman. The exhibition coincides with the release of a new vinyl EP WALKABLE by Pearlman’s musical project Private Time on White Columns’ record label The Sound of White Columns (TSoWC.)
In 2016 Pearlman had a solo exhibition at White Columns of a group of then-recent paintings of abstracted exterior and interior spaces. Often hallucinatory or dream-like, the spaces described in Pearlman’s paintings are liminal (Pearlman is interested in topographies found at the edges – or margins – of urban communities.) Influenced by cinema – Pearlman studied film as an undergraduate, and she currently works as a music supervisor for films and television – the terrains in her work are as much psychological as physical: her paintings describe a state of mind as much as they allude to a specific sense of place.
