Press Release

No Soft Edges questions the conventional relationship between gender and minimalism with an intergenerational exhibition dedicated to the often overlooked women working within the field of minimalist theory and practice. Focusing on the works of six artists—Karen Carson, Alex Chitty, Gisela Colón, Linda Daniels, Beverly Fishman, and Anne Truitt—the exhibition covers nearly sixty years of contributions by women to a realm of artistic production historically dominated by men, with the intention of redefining a canon that continues to grow and develop.
