SECRIST | BEACH was pleased to present Making Time, a salon presentation curated by artist Stephen Eichhorn. Featuring seventeen artists working in a variety of mediums, on view were works of art that represent a variety of philosophical and metaphysical ideas about how objects exist within and interact with the framework of time.
Through metaphor and symbolism, the themes in Making Time revolve around ideas of ownership, transcendence, entropy and perception. By using the earth as a starting point for understanding an object's place within the structure of time, the positive and negative elements of human interference in our complex ecosystem are revealed. In elevating these objects with their alchemic approaches, the artists here individually decipher the macrocosm through the act of slowing time and illuminating the microcosms that surround us.
Featuring artwork by Sarah Bedford, Juan Angel Chavez, Isabella Cuglievan, Michael Dumontier & Neil Farber, Robert Heinecken, Paul Heyer, Ben Houtkamp, Kysa Johnson, Sung Jang, Tony Matelli, Kristoffer McAfee, Alessandra Norman, Carolyn Ottmers, Sterling Ruby, A.V. Ryan, Claudia Peña Salinas and Jacqueline Surdell.
Making Time was presented in conjunction with the solo exhibition VOIDGROUND by Stephen Eichhorn at 1801 W. Hubbard St. from June 14 - August 22, 2024.
