Exhibition Checklist
Storage is pleased to present Then & Now: 1970–2024, a solo exhibition by Jeff Way (b. 1942). Then & Now: 1970–2024 traces the evolution of Jeff Way’s abstract work from the past to the present. Deeply focused on engagement with grid abstraction and spiritualism, Way distills qualities from West Coast and East Coast abstractionists alike. His work occupies a unique position alongside Agnes Martin, Mark Rothko, McArthur Binion, and Jack Whitten, who similarly share a profound connection to the exploration of geometric forms, grids, and their metaphysical implications.

Exhibition Checklist
Press Release (Cycle VI) marks the first year of Storage at 52 Walker Street in Tribeca. Archival and recent works by Jeff Way (b. 1942) and Carolyn Oberst (b. 1946) are curated to examine modalities of labor and transcendence within the historical canon of painting. The exhibition also explores 50+ years of camaraderie between Oberst and Way, who have cohabited in their Walker St loft since the 1970s, but have found disparate modes of artistic exploration.

Exhibition Checklist
Press Release (Cycle III) exists as an ongoing essay where works are used to reposition and examine notions of pressure & release, thereby challenging perceptions of the body and space through painting, sculpture & performance.
Some works presented explore historically normative notions of physical space. Other works play on aspects of queer space through edits on museological tropes. The artists investigate the beauty, fragility, and resilience of the body, considering the space within and around it. They make mundane spaces alienating by accommodating the body's architecture and they rework exterior space, extending the traditions of the trompe-l'œil garden and abstracting our surrounding landscape within the gallery.

Exhibition Checklist
In Press Release (Cycle II), the absence of the body is central in activating the performativity of an artwork. Physical qualities of the works may allude to the precarious circumstance of creating a body using obscure language. This language is one that allows emotions to exist within the realm of non-empirical standards, pushing the limit of existence.
