The exhibition begins with a meditative, ghostly projection of Barnett Newman’s The Wild, memorializing his paradigm-shifting 1951 exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York and whose space is evoked through the proportions of the proposed layout. The radical spirit of The Wild, both in its form and its initial installation, serves this exhibition’s core, around which a diverse constellation of artists supported by the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation are organized. A series of parallel walls, open thresholds and drifting platforms collect works into small, intimate galleries while establishing relationships between groups of artists and situating works in conversation with one another.
