Whitney Claflin at The Green Gallery

The Green Gallery is pleased to announce Whitney Claflin, The Shops at Atlas Park, opening this Friday, May 22nd. This presentation marks Claflin's second exhibition at the gallery and follows her inaugural solo museum show at MoMA PS1 in 2025. Claflin's practice is characterized by a synthesis of extensive cultural, biographical, and art-historical referents. Her methodology involves diverse materials and rendered passages, creating a dynamic where fragments oscillate and eschew, simultaneously emerging and dissipating. Through the incorporation of textile and textual remnants, found imagery, and stylized gestural marks, the work evokes temporal resonances, capturing ephemeral traces of studio cognition and processing. The Shops at Atlas Park features Claflin's latest assemblage of paintings, sculptures, and site-specific interventions.

I have been receiving the Free People catalog at my apartment. It is addressed to a previous tenant, but I’ve come to look forward to its delivery. I really like the styling, and find the paper format somewhat refreshing. I feel most comfortable in retail spaces. I like to walk to The Shops at Atlas Park and go to the Home Goods and T.J. Maxx there. This exhibition presents works that are renderings of places I have been, or places I would rather be.
