How Long Should Memories Last?
Charles LeDray uses a multitude of techniques including carving, casting, drawing, painting, printmaking, sewing, and throwing. The artist recreates existing objects, transforming them through uncanny manipulations of scale and re-combinations that suggest narratives about history and society.
Here, containers—pockets, pallets, cigar boxes, chests, and vitrines—hold collections of individualized yet related objects: things we amass to remember, or to project who we are, where we have been, need, or want to go.
Born in Seattle in 1960, Charles LeDray moved to New York in 1989 and has exhibited regularly since 1991.
LeDray’s work is in numerous public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC.
An annotated exhibition checklist will be available. For all media-related requests, please contact the gallery: +1 212 966 5154 or anna@peterfreemaninc.com.
