Works on Paper from the MCA
Collection Through
October 3
The
works in this exhibition represent or evoke a sense of conflict or
alienation, often in a disproportionately cartoonish manner. Laylah
Ali's gouaches from her Greenheads series translate
complicated and dysfunctional human interactions into hermetic,
visually streamlined narratives, while Peter Saul's drawings depict
American excess and violence in the 1960s. Works by artists Henry
Darger, Oyvind Fahlstrom, Mike Kelley, Karen Kilimnik, and Raymond
Pettibon are also included.
