Paintings are often described as scenes within a narrative. Interestingly, whether or not the artist intends it, a painting’s narrative heavily depends on each viewer’s individual experience. When viewers bring their own perspectives to the artist’s suggested storyline, a unique connection happens between the artist, the artwork, and the viewer. This dynamic relationship adds an intriguing layer of context to flat artwork. With the exhibition Flat Theater, curated by Bowie Bo Gyung Kim, Space776 New York invites viewers to experience painting as a form of theater, engaging each viewer’s personal interpretation. This two-person exhibition features works by Alex W. Rader and Jeffrey Morabito, each showcasing their unique approaches to this compelling dialogue within art.
