Reception Sat, March 14, 5-7:30pm, Exhibition March 14 - May 2
Kahlil Robert Irving's first solo presentation in San Francisco, Mixed Messages (Streets & Screens) AOL + Lottery, brings together an installation that revels in all the different media Irving employs within his practice. The exhibition ranges from the digital space of technology and social media, to the use of materials to represent aspects of the built world around us.
Reflective of Irving's interest in diverse media, this exhibition includes small and large works on paper, digital prints, a light box, small ceramic sculptures, a wallpaper edition, and two flags. Oscillating between the digital and works constructed out of physical materials, Irving is constantly negotiating materials and processes within a practice that seeks to question inherited systems while focusing on possibilities for agency in the here and the now.
Irving attended the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art, Washington University, St. Louis (MFA); and the Kansas City Art Institute (BFA, Art History and Ceramics, 2015). In 2017, Callicoon Fine Arts mounted his first solo exhibition in New York. His work has been exhibited at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas; the Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles; and the RISD Museum, Rhode Island, among others. Irving was selected to participate in the 2019 Great Rivers Biennial hosted by the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, where he will have a solo exhibition in May 2020. His work is in the collections of J.P Morgan Chase Art Collection, New York; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In 2018, Irving's first institutional solo exhibition took place at Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts, Connecticut, and was accompanied by a full-color catalogue with essays and an interview. Irving's work will be featured in Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950-2019, upcoming at the Whitney Museum in New York City (November 20, 2019-January 2021).
