In Kansas City, Kenwyn Crichlow is included in 'Infinite Regress: Mystical Abstraction from the Permanent Collection and Beyond' at The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, curated by Keving Moore — opening Friday, September 20.
On the occasion of The Kemper's 30th anniversary, Infinite Regress connects works from the permanent collection to contemporary artist's exhibiting at the museum for the first time. Spanning more than a century, this exhibition addresses modern humankind’s search for balance within nature and technology. Artists Joseph Stella, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Marsden Hartley were inspired by spiritual concepts circulating during the early 20th century, leading many to choose abstraction over the material world. Today, contemporary artists such as Ken Crichlow, Eamon Ore-Giron, Chelsea Culprit, and Shannon Bool, draw upon an even broader range of sources, including their artistic forebears, in their search for elevated meaning. Together, these works offer an intergenerational dialogue about art as a spiritual home in a beautiful and troubled world.
