The MIT List Visual Arts Center is pleased to present metric, pedestal, landlord, cabengo, recit the first U.S. museum exhibition of the work of New York-based artist Cheyney Thompson (b. 1975, Baton Rouge, LA.) Cheyney Thompson has made the technology, production, and distribution of painting the subject of his work for over a decade. Thompson employs rational structures, technological processes, and generative devices as part of thinking through problems that organize themselves around the terms of painting. The artist addresses the contemporary conditions of painting while expanding its potential through visually engaging yet exacting work. With such a rigorous approach to the medium, Thompson produces work that addresses varieties of abstraction, including pictorial, economic, and technological. |
