DESCRIPTION:\nAt a time when artists may work without obligation to medium
 \, why choose the materials of painting? What does it mean for an artist t
 o assume the role of painter today? And just what is at stake for a new ge
 neration committed to painting? \n\n\nPainter Painter presents new work by
  15 artists from the US and Europe in a focused survey of emergent develop
 ments in abstract painting and studio practice. With an expanded series of
  public programs\, it also considers the ever-shifting role of the painter
  in contemporary art and culture\, which remains as fluid as the medium it
 self. \nThe exhibition posits abstract painting today as a means\, not an 
 end. For these artists\, painting is a generative process—one that is ro
 oted in the studio yet open and receptive to the world. Here new languages
  of abstraction and eccentric methods of making are freely pursued\, cross
 ing paths with sculpture\, poetry\, film\, music\, performance\, design\, 
 publishing\, craft\, and fashion. Thus painting becomes a conduit—a way 
 to make contact beyond the closed frame of their formal invention. \nThe W
 alker’s first group painting show in more than a decade\, the exhibition
  features Matt Connors\, Sarah Crowner\, Fergus Feehily\, Jay Heikes\, Ros
 y Keyser\, Charles Mayton\, Dianna Molzan\, Joseph Montgomery\, Katy Moran
 \, Alex Olson\, Scott Olson\, Zak Prekop\, Dominik Sittig\, Lesley Vance\,
  and Molly Zuckerman-Hartung.\nAs a complement to the exhibition\, a serie
 s of studio visits with the artists offers an open-ended look at their int
 erests and working methods. The online Studio Sessions—a collection of d
 ialogues\, texts\, and visual essays—are as varied in approach as the wo
 rk of the artists themselves.\nExhibition co-curators: Eric Crosby and Bar
