Pae White: Lisa, Bright and Dark is the first U.S. museum survey of Pae White's wide-ranging art-sculpture, mobiles, installations and graphic design. White rethinks the vocabulary and cultural context of modernist art, architecture and design. With each work, she solves a defined problem, be it spatial, intellectual or emotional. This exhibition highlights White's pivotal themes: the rhetoric of style; the aesthetics of domesticity and leisure; the narrative potential of abstraction and color; and the pleasure of experimentation with materials. It is organized around the opposing concepts of 'bright' and 'dark,' to create contrasting psychological environments for the viewer. To the artist, this duality refers to the complexities of the human psyche and the basic human propensity to swing between the 'bright' and 'dark' aspects of our natures. The title is taken from a favorite childhood book, Lisa, Bright and Dark, by John Neufeld.
