Label Text:
Exhibition Label, 40 Years / 40 Artists, January 22–March 8, 2015:
Mehretu’s etchings are built up in stages and layers of markings, architectural tracings, characters, swarms, blurs, and erasures which seem to struggle in competition with each other, yet hang in a fine balance between past and possibility, between identity and society. Through her art, Mehretu imagines a new present, a fictional typography realized through a formal vocabulary of line, color, gesture, grids, and washes. - Loretta Yarlow
