With practices extending across generations and geographies, Dream Plane considers the visions of female-identified artists who are invested in challenging perceptual realities-portraying the material world through a unique vocabulary of personal observation, self-mythology, and ancient history. Whether expressed through figuration, surrealism, or abstraction, these artists imbue two-dimensional planes with physical and psychic elasticity. Dream Plane draws its title from an eponymous diptych by Obering (not included in this show, but on view in an upcoming exhibition at the Giuliani Foundation in Rome) in which horizontal planes of blue and white stretch across two arched canvases as if parallel windows overlooking an infinite skyline-a view that distills the earthly into the sublime. Throughout this exhibition, there recurs a devotion to a more expansive field of vision, an urgency for female-identified artists to conceive of alternative realities wherein their anima can wander freely, unencumbered by oppressive systems. Like a potent, fluid dream sequence, these artworks augment space with memory, symbology, and sensation-realms where the visible is infused with a heightened sense of wonder and possibility.
