Michael McGrath: Some Small Threats

Headstone is excited to announce a solo exhibition, Some Small Threats, by Michael McGrath. The show comprises drawings and paintings ranging in scale from intimate to engulfing. McGrath carefully unravels a cataloged group of characters and encounters, perpetually unsure of who exactly is the antagonist. A set of severed hands, an 8-armed bat, and/or a few anthropomorphized clouds are riddled with smirks and awkward salutations. Like a court reporter, one feels as though McGrath’s fictitious musings are moving faster than real-time. Endless dialogue and imperative details of this other world initiates curiosity in the unfamiliar.
