"Leidy Churchman: Crocodile"

"Crocodile," the first U.S. exhibition of work by Leidy Churchman (b. 1979, Villanova, PA), illustrates the ideas and drive toward reinvention and experimentation at play in this emerging artist’s work. Including over sixty paintings, it focuses on Churchman’s recent work while situating his practice within a longer trajectory through the presentation of projects such as "Snakes" (2011), a performance on video, and the “hardbacks” (2010), a series of intricately painted book covers. It features a newly commissioned large-scale floor painting on linen by the artist. The exhibition is curated by Lauren Cornell, Director of the Graduate Program & Chief Curator.
