Tonight at 6pm, Foxy Production unveils their new exhibit Abstract Abstract, featuring, among others, Michael Bell-Smith, who we wrote about in FADER 61. The exhibit looks to recontextualize how abstract art is traditionally defined through an “exhibition of paintings and prints that interpret and deploy abstraction in surprising and provocative ways.” Bell-Smith will be using marbled composition notebook covers as the base for his digital prints, turning their design into hypnotic abstractions that are equally worthy of scholarly analyzation as well as us standing around going “dude…check it out!” every 30 seconds. The exhibit runs through October 10th and also features work from Heather Cook, Hilary Harnischfeger, Gabriel Hartley, Xylor Jane, Ilia Ovechkin, Max Pitegoff and Travess Smalley.
