“It is the opacity of our language and the way in which it predetermines our sight that intrigues me.” – Mel Bochner

Quint Contemporary Art (QCA) is very pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new thesaurus-inspired monoprints by Mel Bochner. This is the second solo exhibition for Mel Bochner at QCA. The exhibition will open with a public reception on Saturday, March 3rd from 6 to 8 PM.

Other pieces in the exhibition include Money, Head Honcho, Silent, Amazing, Obscene, Sputter, and more. These new works examine the landscape of language and delve deeply into the meaning of one single word or phrase.

Double Up Double Up - A Group Exhibtion June 11 - July 3, 2010

Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the opening of Double Up Double Up, which opens on Friday, June 11 and runs thru July 3, 2010. We are excited to include three artists new to the gallery Tavares Strachan, Eve Sussman & The Rufus Corporation, and Haim Steinbach. The exhibition will also feature works by Mel Bochner and Roy McMakin. There will be an opening reception on June 11, from 6 to 8 PM.

To recall what one has seen is to pull from memory, either consciously or subconsciously. One of the more basic fundamental devices of committing something to memory is repetition. In Double Up Double Up the viewer is invited to explore this principle of memory through works that deal with some form of repetition. The eclectic group of artists in this exhibition examine repetition in unique ways with the use of parallel universes (Stachan), word repetition (Bochner), framing devices (Steinbach), ontological complexities (McMakin), and memory and longing (Sussman). These forms of repetition reveal themselves in double images, duplication, and pairings.
