FIELDING LINE AND SPACE AT THE FIREPLACE PROJECT, EAST HAMPTON, NY
JUNE 22 - JULY 7, 2024 - NEW EXHIBITION CO-CURATED BY HEATHER MARX OPENS IN EAST HAMPTON, NY
Fielding Line & Space is a group exhibition featuring six artists from the East & West coast and marks the first curatorial collaboration of longtime colleagues Heather Marx & Steven Sergiovanni. The pair met at Art Chicago in 2007 while tending to their gallery booths. They immediately discovered that they shared a mutual passion for the artists they represented and were both deeply committed to fostering connections between artists, collectors and curators -- core beliefs that would shape and inform their individual practices in the art world for the coming decades.

Fielding Line & Space bridges Marx’s & Sergiovanni’s shared interest in line, shape, color and form, bringing together artists that hail from each of their regional communities, to engage in and expand a dialogue between the two coasts.
Through the use of sculpture, painting, and site-specific installation, the artists execute a sleight-of-hand to create works that are bound in illusion and beauty, and reference a return to materiality and a sense of magic.
Katy Cowan, Christopher Robin Duncan and Dana Hemenway are from the San Francisco Bay Area, while Ned Smyth, Ryan Wallace and Almond Zigmund are based in New York (East Hamptons & Shelter Island).
Heather Marx is a San Francisco-based art advisor and curator. Her former gallery, Marx & Zavattero, was a leading contemporary gallery from 2001-2013, after which she launched HMxAA.
