Katherine Simóne Reynolds’ guest-curated exhibition, Held Impermanence, draws deeply upon the collections and archives of the Clyfford Still Museum. In five galleries, Reynolds illuminates multiple competing desires held in constant tension within the Clyfford Still Museum. The collection testifies to Still’s ambitious attempt to keep his entire corpus intact. The commitment to the integrity of that body of work allows us to see the acclaimed masterpieces and paintings made in painful transitions and others that bear the scars of time. Reynold’s exhibition asks us how we gaze upon healing over time, how we respond with our bodies to this corpus, and how we might approach Still’s achievements from a perspective that contends with his and our own sense of mortality and, with it, a shared desire to hold impermanence.
