AEIVA Presents Alex Chitty: Entirely opposite, with moments of overlap
Chitty’s exhibition, “Entirely opposite, with moments of overlap,” brings together sculptural and photographic work spanning a decade of the artist’s practice. Included are a series of small tabletop works, or “Character Studies,” that echo the themes and motifs in a central triptych piece. Steeped in the histories and conventions of both art and design, Chitty’s work incorporating found and fabricated objects undermines the stability of form and our narrative associations with it. Through strategies of imitation, appropriation and misuse, it points to the slipperiness of representation as the basis of various forms of knowledge, be they scientific, cultural or historic.
Chitty was born in Miami, Florida, and now lives in Chicago, Illinois, teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago, where she received her Master of Fine Arts degree in 2008. Chitty’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Virginia Commonwealth University; the Elmhurst Art Museum; GAVLAK Gallery; Luce Gallery, Turin, Italy; and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, among other venues. She is represented by Patron Gallery, Chicago.
