Andrew Thiele presents a solo exhibition of new urban, mixed media collage works Moral Compassat Gallery 8, New York. The exhibition of the New York based artist will feature over twenty new large-scale artworks. Throughout the show there will be a calendar of events including a workshop, a jazz performance and a book signing of Thiele’s newest publication. The title Moral Compassis inspired by the compass as a symbol of navigation, in this case, the navigation of the artist in the artworld. In a world where gimmicks and vanity are a norm, in this show Thiele looks inside himself to discover the true purpose of his art. Thiele’s work reflects the life surrounding him, and is greatly influenced by the city of New York. This is evident in the grit and textures taken from the urban decay of the city's walls and the mixed media found objects such as torn posters and city signage. While each piece [...]

Opening Reception: Friday, June 14, 2019, 6–8pm On view June 15 - October 13, 2019 After the End: Timing Socialism in Contemporary African Art presents a selection of works engaging with the history of African socialisms. It features artists looking at countries including Angola, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. The exhibition is the first in North America to explore aesthetic responses to African socialisms and their aftermath. Less than thirty years since independence from colonialism, the end of the Cold War brought down socialist governments and sparked a wave of upheaval among young African nations. The need to reimagine national narratives gave rise to a generation of artists that seek to make sense of the dramatic shifts witnessed by their countries. Far from situating socialism within a fixed past, these artists complicate it through various constructions of time including nostalgia, repetition, historicism, contemporaneity and utopia. Their work investigates how temporality shapes new forms of politics, history, subjectivity and the turn [...]
