Of the Grid: Systems + Structures in Contemporary Art Exhibition
Drexel’s Pearlstein Gallery is excited to announce its Fall 2025 Exhibition - Of the Grid: Systems + Structures in Contemporary Art – an exhibition featuring thirty six artists working in, around and outside of the box. Incorporating photography, video, drawing, weaving, sculpture, embroidery, printmaking, painting, book arts, and interactive installation, the artists in the exhibition use the constraint of the grid as an integral part of their tactile practice – whether serving as a formal framework for experimentation, an indexical device to interrogate historical narratives, an organizational tool for intertextual mapping, or a conceptual means to flatten and expand space. This ambitious group show centers Philadelphia artists in dialogue with international contemporaries and historical context; the sprawling exhibition design will activate the floors, walls and windows of Drexel’s Pearlstein Gallery’s 3700 square feet of space.
