N Space (905 Congress) 

In presenting “for an abstraction,” Culver and Williams are interested in positioning their work within the same space to alter its meaning. The exhibition itself will function as a generative act, taking the separate practices and pairing them into a new work. Both artists investigate the relationships between materiality, abstraction and their relationship to language. Culver and Williams incorporate similar dialectics within their work, between structure and experience, distance and proximity, form and formlessness, all connected through underlying structures, whether the physical support for a canvas or the gallery architecture itself. In addition, there is a correlation in their work in regards to time and memory where the familiar becomes obscured.

Culver was born in Miami, Florida 1985; he received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and is an MFA candidate at The University of Texas at Austin. He has exhibited at the Night Club in Miami, Queens Nails Annex in San Francisco, and Yautepec Gallery in Mexico City, among others. This will be his first show in Texas.

Williams was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1976. He now splits his time between Austin, TX and Brooklyn, NY. Williams has received several fellowships and residencies including The American Academy in Rome, The Core Program, Artpace, and currently at Socrates Sculpture Park. Williams exhibits his work nationally and internationally.
