A new solo exhibition from Detroit-based artist Pat Perry. “Whilst” is a collection of tangentially related works varying in style and subject that evoke the feeling of time passing and history unfolding while your everyday life carries on. During the creation of the series, Perry turned to the writings of William H. Glass, Susan Sontag, and Anne Carson, reflecting on the existential conflict of acknowledging global strife while existing in the mundane and the wonder of small moments. “Whilst” is on display at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City from November 14 to December 5th. Perry’s Liminal Bingo Group Photo Project will also be on view in conjunction with the exhibition. Liminal Bingo (which we posted about here back in May) was a 25-square photo hunt launched by Perry which features over 60 photographers:

“My hope for Liminal Bingo was that playfulness and seriousness could coexist. I was not trying to teach anyone anything. The poster says it works best when done with others, and participants took that seriously. They went out with friends, met strangers, and wandered places they had no reason to be. The project seemed to attract openhearted people. I think most of them will remember the summer they played Liminal Bingo longer than any painting of mine they’ve strolled or scrolled past.”
