Erik Lindman & Augustus Thompson Slabs and Boards

Sep 18 — Oct 25, 2025 | New York, Tribeca

Opening on Thursday, September 18, 2025 from 6 to 8 pm

Almine Rech Tribeca is pleased to announce a two-person exhibition by artists Erik Lindman and Augustus Thompson, on view from September 18 to October 25, 2025.

What is the juncture or intersection between memory and matter; where do these two points meet and interact? In his monumental text Matter and Memory (Matière et mémoire), 1896, French philosopher Henri Bergson proposed that “matter” could be seen as “an aggregate of images,” as an interconnected field embodying the collision of time, motion and pure perception. “Matter, in our view, is an aggregate of ‘images,’” he writes. “And by ‘image’ we mean a certain existence which is more than that which the idealist calls representation, but less than that which the realist calls a thing—an existence placed half-way between the thing and the representation.”

In this two-person exhibition Slabs and Boards, American artists Erik Lindman and Augustus Thompson present a compelling exchange; a space “half-way or in-between,” surface and image; memory and thing, painting and sculpture, and ruin and object. Through distinct vocabularies, they examine the process of transference from memory to surface while questioning the agency and construction of representation.

— Melissa Bianca Amore, art critic, philosopher, curator.
