RAQUE FORD – THE BARKEEPER’S FRIEND
2025-07-21The exhibition features wall-mounted works in her signature sheets of bright acrylic, incised with snippets of text and Pop iconography (spiral symbols, hippie flowers). The works’ modular grids and space-age material recall the innovations of Minimal sculpture, when artists turned to plexi for its pristine hardness and sealed-in sheen. Yet Ford’s panels are lifted from her own custom dance floors and bear traces of that former use, sociability, proximity, and connection that lingers in the nicks and dings that mar the plastic.
