Robert Barry - Profile

Through an aesthetic of scientific precision comprised of exact lines, perfectly rendered angles, and meticulous installation Robert Barry creates spaces conductive to the most humane activity possible; environments where intense contemplation on levels both primitive and complex, and the range between, are engendered. Barry's use of language in the past has created an entirely unique linguistic system, one neither prose nor poetry, but instead something else, a system where groups of words floating across the surfaces of canvases, paper, walls, or even windows and grass fields, have, when read and engrained in their audiences' minds, lead to open ended contemplations, they guide the thoughts of viewers in certain directions and shape something, some notion of the artwork, specific and particular in the thought pattern of each viewer. Here this removed meditation is pulled from the resolutely intangible and individual spheres to the grim realities of mortality. This presentation will merge the previous spaces he has produced "to be free to think" about the more personal and abstracted with the serious and grave issues that must be addressed immediately in regard to US foreign policy; thus leading to both intellectual theory about what these conflicts mean to each visitor and their own opinions on global politics, as well as visceral thoughts about death, both within the context of their own lives and the ongoing US wars.
