Andy Coolquitt Attainable Excellence

For the artist’s first solo museum exhibition andy coolquitt: attainable excellence, Coolquitt will recombine 60 discrete sculptures and tableaux made between 2006 and 2011 into a site-specific installation which, in its singularity and temporariness, reflects on the condition of the gallery space as a codified place of encounter for people and works of art. The exhibition will also include pieces that occupy a hybrid position between autonomous artworks by Coolquitt and what the artist calls “somebodymades”… Show more and “in-betweens.” Somebodymades are assemblages of objects that are presented just as the artist found them in the streets, while in-betweens exist as object-materials that are incorporated into finished works. Presented alongside and interspersed with his own work, these elements serve to further complicate the relationship between the contexts of creation and reception, artist and audience, and blur the boundaries between art and life.
