When the mind is untroubled with curator Shauna Thompson

The exhibitions of Tammi Campbell, Agnes Martin, and Sarah Stevenson are united in an austere formal language of grid and line. However, foundational to these ascetic aesthetics are individual interests in emotion, physicality, and sensuality. Esker curator Shauna Thompson presented this conversational walking tour that aimed to illuminate the nuanced and affecting inspirations behind these three artists’ practices.
