Pony presents Tomorrow, an exhibition of all new work by the New York based artist and writer Justin Chance. Doubling down on the artist’s interests in language, time and the conventions of the everyday, the exhibition will feature quilts, works on paper, one large woven drawing and a site-specific wallpaper installation. Indulging in the artist’s fascination with the word “tomorrow” as a concrete assertion of the unknown, the exhibition explores ideas of solipsism, mortality, presumption and the role of ego in thoughts, considerations, doubts, worries and expectations surrounding the future. With spirals, a world map and proclamations of “ME!” colored in red, “Tomorrow”, the artist’s first solo exhibition in France examines time as an abstraction, attendant and unrelenting force.

Press Release by Emily Wattlington
Justin Chance is showing at Tara Downs again; it is his second show with the gallery. It is a show that nods obliquely to things that happen again and again. Is the repetition cumulative, with tragedy upon tragedy until eventually, presumably, reaching a tipping point? Or does the redundancy have more of a numbing effect, rendering it all banal?
