Huxley-Parlour are delighted to present Elastic Concept, a solo exhibition of new works by American artist, Emily Weiner, at our Swallow Street gallery. The exhibition presents a suite of eight paintings including new small-scale works made on warped panels that playfully renegotiate the limitations of the medium.
Emily Weiner. Providence (Annuit Coepta), 2024
The exhibition takes its title from a quote by the psychologist Carl Jung; ‘love is an elastic concept that stretches from heaven to hell’. Utilising the notion of polarities as the thematic framework for this new body of work, Weiner examines notions of universalism and individualism, the divine and the real, while revealing the simultaneous contradictions that exist within them.

Biography
Emily Weiner’s practice examines art historical imagery and repeated motifs which she reimagines through new perspectives, in particular investigated these symbols through a feminist and Jungian lens. Weiner seeks to investigate how reconfiguring these symbols can generate new understandings across generations and how imagery and its attached meaning can evolve.
Weiner received a BA from Barnard College, Columbia University before graduating with an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. She has completed residencies at The Cooper Union, New York, as well as The Banff Center, Canada. In 2022 Weiner was the recipient of The Hopper Prize, as well as the Current Art Fund from the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts & Tri-Star Arts (2021). Her work has been exhibited in the United States, Italy, Norway, China, and Canada, and is held in the permanent collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia and Kunsthall Grenland, Porsgrunn, Norway. Weiner lives and works in Nashville.
