Upcoming Shows

Pie Projects is thrilled to present Mirage,’ a group exhibition featuring Larry Bell, Ben Dallas, August Muth, and Signe Stuart. The artworks exhibited in 'Mirage' put in question what one sees. Visual perception change on closer inspection, challenging our preconceived ideas of materials and optical sensations.

Larry Bell takes center stage with three recent compositions on canvas from his 'Mirage' series and nine small works on paper from his 'Fractions' series.

Using the vacuum coating technology used to deposit the thin films on his iconic glass works, Bell intuitively creates mixed media fused collages as mysterious as memories of dreams. 

Larry Bell is one of the most renowned and influential artists to emerge from the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s, alongside contemporaries Ed Ruscha and Robert Irwin. Larry Bell: Improvisations', a career survey from the 1960s onward, opens 22 May 2024 art at the Phoenix Art Museum.

Ben Dallas will present a selection of his new painting constructions. The mysterious design and the three-dimensionality of his works invite the viewer to spend time with the pieces, looking for marks, chromatic shifts, delicate lines, wax layers, and unexpected folds. Dallas’ work can seem hermetic, but a closer look reveals exquisite and poetic compositions.

The exhibition also includes holographic etchings from August Muth. A pioneer in the exploration of light and color through holography, Muth produces rich fields of color which stretch beyond the bounds of the archival glass surface moving in space with the viewer. He will be presenting a series of new holographic works at Pie Projects in a two-person exhibition later this summer. 

Signe Stuart is back in the studio after her 60-year retrospective at the South Dakota Art Museum. Her new sewn canvases blur the liminal perception between line, color, light, and shadow. For Stuart, a sewn canvas is a metaphorical slice of time and space, a context in which to construct ideas about the connections and intersections of matter and energy.
