Michelle Grabner
Michelle Grabner is known for her broad perspective developed as a teacher, writer, and critic over the past thirty years. She is currently Professor of Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is also the founder and co-director of two non-profit art spaces in Wisconsin, The Suburban and The Poor Farm, with her husband, artist Brad Killam.
The paintings of Walter Price have breath. They are nuanced. They are fluid, and they freely associate. Sometimes this fluidity breaks. It staggers, it stops, it snaps, only to give way to new formation. The paintings transcend even the simplest of polemics. They are nimble and difficult worlds. Michelle Grabner spoke with Price on the occasion of Pearl Lines, his exhibition at the Walker Art Center.
