Municipal Bonds is pleased to present Dan Levenson’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, A5 Format Oil on Paper Studies and A3 Format Student Palettes from the SKZ. His work represents artifacts rescued from the ruins of the imaginary State Art Academy, Zürich (SKZ), a school governed by proportion. Student paintings are structured exercises based on standard metric paper sizes. Even the furniture reflects those same measurements. Within this system, the studies and palettes occupy a curious and exacting place. The studies carry the logic of the academy, while the palettes preserve the evidence of making. Levenson uses both forms to consider how an artist is shaped by discipline and freedom.
