Press Release:

Swimming Pool Project Space is proud to present New Work by Lisa Majer. Through the use of crude materials and intuitive techniques, Majer's paintings and videos activate a dialogue between urban and Romantic landscape. At the abject edge of the sublime, the point where vastness becomes claustrophobic, the work moves towards a visceral psychic experience. Skies are surfaces and horizons are positioned as objects obliterated, under which foregrounds recede.

Lisa received her MFA from Northwestern University in 2008 and this is her first solo exhibition in Chicago.
