Group Exhibition | 2014 Kansas City Flatfile

The 2014 Kansas City Flatfile is an invitational biennial exhibition featuring two-dimensional artwork by over 150 Kansas City visual artists. Engaging in a unique and intimate viewing experience, visitors browse through artist portfolios featuring recent works. Curated walls of works from the 2014 flatfiles change throughout the duration of the exhibition, June 7 – September 27, 2014.

Curated by Erin Dziedzic

Inspired by the work and installations of R.H. Quaytman this wall installation culled from works submitted to the Kansas City Flatfile is meant to be read as a linear chapter; beginning with the detail photograph of a onyx wall by Ahram Park and ending with Archie Scott Gobber’s text-based work that reads “reinforce ambiguities rather than answers.” Moving from one work on paper to the next viewers are encouraged to identify aspects such as media, pattern, and color that overlap with the work(s) before and after, creating a narrative-like effect.
