Tonight, they launch Tilt Export, a curatorial effort in various spaces that opens with "approximate" at  Gallery HOMELAND (2505 ...

Ethan Rose and Damien Gilley collaborate on the site-specific Approximate. by John Motley This month, TILT Export—the roving curatorial project Josh Smith and Jenene Nagy launched after closing Tilt Gallery and Project Space—has transformed galleryHOMELAND into a funhouse of sensory second-guessing.

Jesse Hayward

For the month of January, Tilt exhibits Jesse Hayward's One None Done. Hayward's work combines the sculptural with the painterly and drawn, blurring boundaries and lending a "heightened leeway" to form and color. The site-specific installation creates "sweeps of gesture" throughout the space.

We couldn't help but get into a conversation about Robert Irwin's notion of site-determined vs. site specific at Tilt Gallery and Project Space. Rather than saying I will make a piece just for this space and call it site-specific, Irwin went into a space and let the space suggest the ...
