Staged in East Hampton in conjunction with the final venue for her traveling survey, Gloves Off, curated by Andrew Ingall and organized for SUNY Stony Brook’s Staller Center by Karen Levitov, opening on November 3, New Information, shows an artist in the studio playing with form and meaning in the midst of a world where form and meaning are currently disrupted. As Alisa Chase remarks in her review of Gloves Off for Afterimage, “Rafferty pulls off a rather difficult trick in making work that is as formally captivating as it is conceptually rigorous.” Halsey McKay Gallery is pleased to work with Rafferty for the third time, a year after she and Sara VanDerBeek curated Her Wherever, which opened in October 2016. This is her first solo exhibition with the gallery.
