Anchored by the new paintings Metzger made for this exhibition--a set of works conceived as an installation for the Renaissance Society's space that also serve as the subject of an essay by curator Karsten Lund--the book also features four other series of paintings by the artist, each of which further charts his evolving aesthetic and conceptual strategies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For this publication, Metzger has also invited six writers--including Kris Cohen, Fumi Okiji, Hamza Walker, Jan Verwoert, and Anna Zett--to reflect on how abstraction functions more broadly, whether as a psychological tendency, a social phenomenon, or a technological side effect, among many other possibilities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Metzger\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist who lives and works in Chicago.
