Seven substantial paintings make up an exhibition titled Darkling, now on view at Hauser & Wirth. In conjunction with this exhibition is another selection of Wellmann’s work, One Thousand Emotions, at Company. Beer gardens, cafes and strip clubs: night communities gathered together in whatever solace darkness and the company of others offer.

Language Is Not Transparent is not the beginning but very close to the beginning of Bochner’s art work. He’d found himself inclined to Wittgenstein, the philosopher he’d studied and admired. In an interview with Border Crossings in 2019, he’d said you don’t really get ideas out of Wittgenstein, you get a manner of being.
