AB Exorcism! Applied Action Painting and Inverted Arenas is a new exhibition featuring the work of PlatteForum Resident Artist, Maria Molteni and PlatteForum’s ArtLab high school interns. During her seven-week residency, Molteni has presented on many overlapping social justice and art historical movements, particularly the Post-war and Cold-war eras when Abstract Expressionism re-centered the focus of art world from Europe to the United States. Abstract Expressionism, also called AB EX or action painting championed individual, creative, emotional expression and often saw the final painted product as the mere residue of a process.Our Resident Artist program is generously supported by OZ Architecture
