Christine Corday: Protoist Series, Selected Forms

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Christine Corday: Protoist Series, Selected Forms, the first solo presentation by the artist in a U.S. museum. The term “protoist,” coined by Corday, describes forms in and out of a solid state and is the title of a series of works in which she aims to suspend the moment between sensory perception and definition. The series’s large scale torch-cut works focus on temperature, solid states of metals, and the sensory effect of touch with abstract form.
