Gravity of the Unsubstantiated

Gravity of the Unsubstantiated brings together the works of Michelle Grabner and Monika Plioplyte. In their respective works, the body becomes the link to spirituality, nature, and the everyday. Grabner often acknowledges the presence of a body engaged in work and craft focusing on materials that suggest engagement with domesticity and everyday life. Through an idiosyncratic painting process, she has developed a minimalist style that references the spiritual. Plioplyte uses elements of patterning and repetition also in a ritualistic fashion that suggests the body in motion. Grabner and Plioplyte find commonality in the process and the materiality of the act of making. Both artists consider natural elements like patterning that are then juxtaposed with objects that are brought into the outdoors like picnic table cloths and clothing. The different elements of these works are contextualized in a living space that also acknowledges the domestic and outdoor spaces of Boulder, CO.

Rare Visions Gallery Project is proud to present the works of these two thought-provoking artists.
