Threshold of Vision

<p>Nathalie Karg Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of Threshold of Vision, a highly anticipated group exhibition that explores the fundamental connection between how we shape the natural world and how we interpret it. The exhibition is structured around two distinct yet harmonizing groups. On one side are The Visionary Painters: March Avery, Sara-Vide Ericson, William Mackinnon, and Helen Marden. Their work operates on an interior, psychological plane, translating the physical environment into realms of memory, emotion, myth, and social history. Their canvases offer a complex understanding of nature as a refuge for the mind. In direct conversation with the paintings are The Conceptualists: Jim Drain, Jim Lambie, Ugo Rondinone, Kenny Scharf and Rirkrit Tiravanija. This group highlights functional outdoor objects— originally created for Cumulus Studios (founded by Nathalie Karg in 2007)— that demand a direct, physical engagement. These are not passive sculptures; they are objects to be sat on, played with, or used for communal gathering. These highly aesthetic, often Pop-infused interventions create an engineered space for rest or social action within the landscape. By placing a functional object in direct dialogue with a painted, felt landscape, Threshold of Vision asks visitors to confront how art fundamentally mediates our experience of the world.</p>
