October 1, 2016 - February 19, 2017 - With this exhibition, It’s as though Jimmy Kuehnle took the idea of joy, made a pattern of it, sewed it together, hung it from the ceiling, threw in some air and light, and gave it to us to enjoy. Which, I suppose, is exactly what he did.
Humor and a sense of play are key components of Kuehnle’s work, which he creates to react specifically to the spaces they inhabit. Many of his sculptures activate and even gently mock architectural space by cramming bright, flexible shapes of inflated fabric into every nook and cranny. Other works spill out organically from rooms and galleries that are created with right angles and rigid geometry.
