<p class=MsoNormal>The YUAG exhibition Continuous Present is on view October 6,
2009–January 10, 2010. Continuous Present features a selection of work by
11 of today’s most compelling contemporary artists working in a broad
array of media, including film, video, photography, painting, and sculpture.
The artists chosen for the show—Francis Alÿs, Peter Fischli and David
Weiss, Rodney Graham, Roni Horn, On Kawara, Thomas Nozkowski, Gabriel Orozco,
Laura Owens, Dieter Roth, and Franz West—share a keen interest in time
and sensory perception despite the aesthetic diversity of their practices.
Their work reveals the capacity for art to profoundly reposition our physical
and intellectual engagement with the world around us as they invite us to
experience the “continuous present.” Exhibition organized by
Jennifer Gross, the Seymour H. Knox, Jr., Curator of Modern and Contemporary
Art, Yale University Art Gallery. Made possible by the Janet and Simeon Braguin
Fund, with additional support provided by the Carol and Sol LeWitt Fund and
Allen Grover Fund for Contemporary Art.<o:p></o:p></p>
