A Particular Kind of Heaven, curated by Ali Dipp
May 6, 2023 - June 3, 2023
Parrasch Heijnen is pleased to present A Particular Kind of Heaven, a group show curated by artist Ali Dipp.
The title of this show references Ed Ruscha's 1983 painting of the same name to suggest a central animating impulse in the nation's history: the landscape, when looked at from afar, stirs—and at times instantiates—American aspiration. Affixed at a vantage point where it can be perceived, horizons often dictate the country's expanse, a people's dream, and possibility's extent. This group show at parrasch heijnen heralds a reevaluation of the landscape's cultural import by entangling the concept with a rich array of inter-generational voices. Furthermore, by conveying how artists have and continue to view the landscape, this show reckons with the environment as a subject capable of providing unforeseeable visions.
