Laney Contemporary is pleased to present Pete Schulte: November 4, 2022 - January 14, 2023. With a daily practice of drawing as his compass, Schulte chooses as the exhibition’s title, simply the dates. Dates as title suggests the way that drawing and thinking, drawing and perception, drawing and time are interconnected. Drawing can be seen as a kind of thought-action as drawing precedes the thought and then begins to articulate it visually as a non-verbal space. Drawing as a daily action activates perception as a choice while the word practice insinuates the rigor and intentionality of drawing. Schulte’s works on paper are responsive to the compositional dynamics and poetry of space, the subtleties of light, and the variation available through graphite, ink, and pigment. This selection is interested in the viewer-object dialogue that can open without conditions and without dictation of meaning. It is open to the site-specific, radiating observations that can be made at the edges and in the between-spaces: inferring connections between drawing and building, line and street, feeling and city, perception and the dynamic history of that place. His drawings change depending upon where they are placed. In this way every exhibition of Schulte’s work in context is different from the last.
