Synopsis

Each of the artists - Franz Ackermann, Steve DiBenedetto, Carroll Dunham, Ati Maier, Julie Mehretu, Matthew Ritchie, Alexander Ross, and Terry Winters - is part of a revitalization that has been seen in recent years in contemporary painting and drawing. Their work grapples with the overwhelming abundance of information now present in our lives, information that is historical, scientific, technological, geographical, visual, literary, hallucinogenic, mass-media, or otherwise. "In the early twenty-first century, painting and drawing are a means of controlling information, opening it to both precision and chaos," says Elisabeth Sussman, the exhibition's curator. In her introductory essay, she continues, "If all of the artists in Remote Viewing are interested in information, what does that information look like? If there are invented worlds, what do they have in common? If there are narratives, even figures, do they resemble one another?
