Reception for the Artist on Thursday, May 2nd from 6 to 9 pm: Addressing haptic sensations, McCleary’s practice is anchored by the embodiment of touch. Gallery MC, on the 8th floor of 549 West 52nd Street, will receive part of a growing collection of works in McCleary’s repertoire. The pieces, rendered on aluminum, focus on the pleasure of flesh, and the way that pleasure translates into our desire for our communication devices. With a keen eye for the mediation of corporeality, the depiction of real and abstraction, at turns, renders the body into an abject and sensuous landscape. McCleary filters this carnal depiction through a myriad of screens—queering the metaphorical body, and classifying an already detailed process through a progressive lens. Gallery MC will be transformed into a space in which desire, abjection and the digital are all at play.

Reception for the Artist in Residence on Thursday, April 18th from 6 to 8 pm: Different lines, colours and rhythms appear on the canvas and I intuitively recognize myself in them. I am always searching for that primary state from which the energy and the atmosphere will be transformed into a synthesis of emotions that will give birth to the gaze. 

Reception for the Artist in Residence on Thursday, April 11th from 6 to 8 pm: A linear tracing of the dialectic of modern and contemporary fine art has no refuge in the work of the Macedonian-Croatian painter Krunislav Stojanovski. What is paradigmatic of him is the uncompromising/free flow of his desire to incessantly wander through the aesthetic and stylistic preferences of the 20th century.
