Mike Weiss Gallery is pleased to present Virginia Martinsen’s Exhibition Space, her inaugural solo show with the gallery and her first in New York in six years.  The exhibition will consist of oil paintings and photographic collages that revolve around the artist’s encounters with exhibition spaces. Within these settings, Martinsen inverts the traditional art-space relationship; she strips the environs of their otherwise inherent conceptual weights and instead unveils the palpable documentation of their histories  – the floors, walls, corners, and rafters that materialize totalities of the movement of people, things, and time within. What’s left is a trace, a simultaneous reference to and negation of the imposition of aura.
