EXHIBITIONS

Listening to the voices of contemporary artists and engaging with their work is like stepping into the future. A collector of emerging artists must be bold, undeterred by naysayers, and have a vision that inspires others to follow. Christine Mack has built her dynamic collection by actively seeking out, meeting with, collecting, and supporting the young voices of our time. Her mission extends beyond collecting; she is deeply committed to nurturing these talents through mentorship, financial support, and the Mack Art Foundation Artist Residency.

Organic Abstraction: Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture returns to the grounds of the Southampton Art Center for its 2nd season. The exhibition explores the materials, processes, and techniques of established, internationally recognized, museum-collected sculptors working within a formalist paradigm.

Appreciable is the artist's plight as they shape, mold and weld a negotiated balance between malleability and constraint dictated by their chosen material. Syntax, form, and the artistic process become the subject matter of each work, each being most immediately understood by its physical attributes engendering a pure, aesthetic experience, free of narrative.
