The gallery’s first solo exhibition with Minneapolis-based artist Nate Young.
Young’s conceptual practice allows him to move fluidly between different mediums, often conflating multiple subjects and material. In this body of work, the artist combines language and signifiers with graphite and paper to create deliberately worked diagrammatic drawings that are austere and poetic. Young derives his inspiration from the Swiss linguist and semiotician Ferdinand de Saussure, and his father’s theological background. This combination of lucid materials and esoteric concepts identifies the space between language and cognition, the signifier and the signified; articulating the connection between. This moment of cognition is further amplified by the inclusion of a distinct, codified language that is an extension of post-structuralism, informed by religious doctrine.
