In the front gallery Johansson Projects presents a two person exhibition entitled Some Math. Jana Flynn creates 3-dimensional drawings out of string, colorful networks stuck on an infinite loop of interconnectivity. Her graphs-gone-wild define the spaces they inhabit as their axis expose the artfulness of the shortest distance between two points.
Jill Gallenstein invites viewers to look in into her microscapes buzzing with happy atoms engaged in serious play. Her pseudo-scientific worlds pose unsolvable equations between pattern and spontaneity, simplicity and complexity. Watch as two different modes of abstraction- art and mathematics- have their way with concrete materials.
Johansson Projects is contemporary art gallery that functions as a curatorial laboratory, creating exhibitions that pair established and internationally-recognized artists with up-and-coming locals. Its unique architecture allows for innovative exhibitions, prompting viewers to actively engage with artists who explore the delicate mysteries embedded in modernity often using unorthodox materials and methods. Johansson Projects was voted best gallery in 2008 and 2009 and is a locus for curators, collectors, and artists to connect and engage in dialogue with the larger art community both regionally and nationally.
