This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Painting in Tongues, on view at MOCA January 29- April 17, 2006

This survey examines the work of seven international emerging artists who have embraced a novel and challenging approach to painting. By employing a varied mix of painterly styles, modes, sources, and materials, as well as working against a single recognizable “hand,” the featured artists have each crafted a complex and rich practice that offers innumerable avenues for exploration and growth. The artists—Kai Althoff, Gillian Carnegie, Mark Grotjahn, Lucy McKenzie, Rodney McMillian, Ivan Morley, and Anselm Reyle—are guided by a variety of individual motivations and conceptual frameworks rather than the outward appearances of their canvases.
