Patricia L. Boyd
Hold
March 9 – June 13, 2021
Patricia L. Boyd develops her artworks through inquiries into the infrastructures and dynamics of their production and presentation. The works on view in her solo exhibition Hold at Kunstverein München, many of which intervene into the architecture of the gallery spaces, consider the reciprocal relationship between artistic practices and mechanisms of display. The exhibition includes various types of containers and thresholds—both actual and metaphoric—pointing to contradictions that structure psychological and institutional spaces.
Hold is accompanied by a series of events including an online reading by artist Moyra Davey. The artist’s first comprehensive book, conceived in collaboration with graphic designer Scott Ponik, will be published on the occasion of the exhibition.
