Curated by Phong Bui
Henry Brown recently exhibited in MINUS SPACE at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. MINUS SPACE is a nonprofit curatorial project based in Brooklyn, NY, presenting innovative reductive art by international artists working in all media. Curatorial Advisor Phong Bui and MINUS SPACE brought together 54 artists from 14 countries, ranging from Australia to Brazil to New York City, for a dense and playful show of reductive art in the Café and P.S.1’s cavernous Boiler Room, two of the museum’s unique and non-traditional exhibition spaces.
Concentrating on reductive art and abstraction, MINUS SPACE bucks the trend towards figuration that took hold in the 1990s. MINUS SPACE presents exhibitions in its Brooklyn project space and other venues nationally and internationally. Henry Brown’s paintings were recently included in their traveling group exhibition, Machine Learning. MINUS SPACE was founded in 2003 by artists Matthew Deleget and Rossana Martinez and this exhibition marks its 5th anniversary.
