Skowhegan and Team (Gallery, Inc.) are pleased to announce a conversation and book signing with Suzanne McClelland and Thierry De Duve to celebrate the release of Suzanne McClelland: 36 x 24 x 36, at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture New York program space. 

Suzanne McClelland: 36 x 24 x 36 assembles four distinct bodies of the artist’s work, made between 2013 and 2015. Featuring thirty-five paintings on canvas and a collection of works on paper, the monograph explores the development of McClelland’s practice in relation to her use of politically charged subject matter, language, statistics, and her own research process. Thierry De Duve contributes an extended meditation on McClelland’s production, paying particular attention to her 2015 exhibition at Team Gallery, “Call With Information.” Through a careful analysis of her installation, De Duve lays the groundwork to pose questions about the efficacy of political art, asking the difficult question of his essay’s title: “When is art political?” In conversation together at Skowhegan, McClelland and De Duve will pick up this question in order to reflect upon the power of images in our contemporary moment.
