The really real things of the world are in fact processes.

— Timothy Barker, Against Transmission: Media Philosophy and the Engineering of Time

High Noon is pleased to present Manual Transmission, the gallery’s fourth exhibition with Nebraska based artist Ryan Crotty. In his newest paintings, Crotty deepens his longstanding exploration of painting as a dynamic interface where historical method, technological logic, and human perception converge. Using a series of rigs and hand-crafted tools of his own design, he orchestrates controlled pulls and gestures that blur the line between touch and automation.
