Quandary

9.7.13 - 10.6.13
Lauren Clay Emre Kocagil

LVL3 presents Quandary, a two-person exhibition featuring Brooklyn-based artist Lauren Clay and Chicago-based artist Emre Kocagil. This exhibition brings Clay and Kocagil together to juxtapose their related practices. Clay traverses modernist form in order to look closer into varying thoughts of the psyche. Kocagil’s practice indulges in systems of governance and explores how metaphysics plays out. Quandary addresses the perplexity of these two artists’ modalities in a responsive manner.
