For her One Night Only celebration, Moyer's new work continues to expand upon her sensual and cerebral visual language. Saturated hues, enchanted surfaces and the overt aesthetic beauty of Carrie’s paintings act as a subversive entry point to her broader task of “queering” the history of American Abstraction.
Moyer will also debut a site specific ephemeral installation. The work will offer friends a take away piece by the artist, echoing the free pamphlets dispersed by Dyke Action Machine (DAM!), the radical, queer activist project which Moyer co-founded. This is the artist’s first solo show in Texas. Carrie Moyer will be in attendance.
One Night Only is a national curatorial project by artist Arthur Peña.
Previous One Night Only celebrations include Nicole Eisenman (NY) and Jay Stuckey (LA).
One Night Only currently resides in a historic, private residence in Dallas, TX and is an inclusive endeavor during divisive times.
Carrie Moyer’s work has been exhibited widely in both the United States and Europe.
