Sable Elyse Smith

Tithe

September 7 – October 21, 2022

Opening reception: September 13, 6 – 8pm

Tithe coincides with the release of Smith’s first-ever monograph: And Blue In A Decade Where It Finally Means Sky

JTT is pleased to announce Tithe, a solo exhibition featuring new work by Sable Elyse Smith (b. 1986, Los Angeles). 

For over a decade, Smith has built a practice from tracing the threads of violence and power embedded within systems of belief, infrastructure, language, even intimacy. Spanning a broad range of media, Smith’s work samples and splices moments extracted from visual culture and the built environment, using strategies of repetition interwoven with gestures of poetic intervention to reveal implicit constructs of social control. As curator and scholar Horace Ballard has observed, Smith “dismantle[s] the power compositional forms have over language by making the all-too-comfortable elision between structures apparent and proving that language is as much an architecture and public monument as sculpted stone.”1 

Language as architecture is central to Tithe. On view are a continuation of Smith’s “Coloring Book” series: blown up pages from activity books that Smith found on the street in Harlem. These pages, circulated under the guise of resources to children whose families are touched by incarceration, are revealed in Smith’s hands as a teaching tool to effectively normalize courtrooms and their proceedings as a childhood storybook. Printed here on black paper, the didactic images recede beneath Smith’s gestural mark making. Abstract forms and bold, otherworldly colors give way to Christian iconography in all its absurdity: Saint Francis communing with birds, halos and hellfire flares, figures standing on expanses of water. The exhibition’s title, Tithe, refers to the duty of submitting 10% of one’s income to the Church, a reminder of the economies that lie beneath the institutions that purport to “save.”

Throughout the exhibition, Smith draws parallels between visual motifs and practices deployed by both Christianity and the carceral system, and more broadly by church and state, to consider the substructures that perpetuate narratives of innocence and guilt. In a new sculpture, matte black prison stools multiply into Gravity, a towering crucifix bearing down on the viewer from the wall. What is gravity but an invisible force exerted continuously over a body, constant but rarely perceived? As in previous works where the stools have coalesced into giant jacks pieces or a ferris wheel, the conjoined stools emphasize the absurdity of carceral architecture, proposing against its normalization. Projected into space sideways, the stools collected to create Gravity actively defy it. 

Tithe follows Smith’s presentations at the Whitney Biennial and Venice Biennale earlier this year, and coincides with the release of Smith’s first-ever monograph: And Blue In A Decade Where It Finally Means Sky, including texts by Horace Ballard, Johanna Burton, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, and Christina Sharpe.

Sable Elyse Smith: And Blue In A Decade Where It Finally Means Sky

Preorder here mail@jttnyc.com

This is the first major monograph dedicated to the New York–based artist Sable Elyse Smith. Through her wide-ranging multimedia practice, Smith elucidates how the carceral state (read America) quietly inflicts violence and is constantly reinforced by the seemingly banal: from furniture found in prison visitation rooms, to pages from children’s coloring books. Included in this publication are works produced from 2015 to the present day to provide a comprehensive overview of Smith’s videos, sculptures, photography, texts and printed matter. Accompanying over 140 color images are texts by Horace Ballard (Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. Associate Curator of American Art at Harvard Art Museums), Johanna Burton (Executive Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles), Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (author of Friday Black), and Christina Sharpe (writer, professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Black Studies in the Humanities at York University).

INDECENCIA: Sep 16, 2022 – Jan 8, 2023

Opening celebration: September 15 6-8 PM

We’re pleased to announce the opening of INDECENCIA.

INDECENCIA brings together a cohort of queer/rare artists from Latin America and/or of Latin American descent and living in the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean or in-between spaces/identities, whose praxes center on performance art and ephemeral actions. From the perspective of several generations, countries, and sociopolitical contexts, these artists invite us to consider Latinidad/Latinxidad and its relationship to religion, enfleshment, and sexuality. Their inquiries extend – through videos, props, scripts, costumes, and other channels—to the disjointed corpus of an entire hemisphere where, for many, the colonized and the colonizer can easily wrestle within a single body.

“Raro” is the curator’s translation of “queer” in Spanish. “Raro” means strange, weird, or unusual.

INDECENCIA has already been named as a must-see exhibition in Hyperallergic’s Fall Art Guide!

Participating artists: Luis A., Arantxa Araujo, Arthur Avilés, Nao Bustamante, Susana Cook, Anna Costa e Silva and Nina Terra, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Marga Gomez, Félix González Torres, Nadia Granados (La Fulminante), Noelia Quintero and Rita Indiana, Carlos Martiel, Carlos Leppe, Elizabeth “MACHA” Marrero, Ivan Monforte, Gigi Otálvaro-Hormillosa, Charles Rice-González, Jesusa Rodríguez and Liliana Felipe, Carmelita Tropicana & Uzi Parnes & Ela Troyano, and Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis.

Curated by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles

Please join Leslie-Lohman, INDECENCIA curator Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles, and exhibition artists for an opening celebration September 15th from 6-8pm.

Geoffrey Hendricks

Berlin Sky Drawings

September 9 – October 15, 2022

Opening reception: Friday, September 9, 6-8PM

This September, Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery has the privilege to present a show of works by the late Geoffrey Hendricks (1931-2018). The exhibition will comprise sculptures, paintings and installations from different time periods within the celebrated artist and educator’s long career.

Central to the gallery’s exhibition will be a partial recreation of a 1984 show in Germany, titled “Berlin Sky Drawings,” which featured graphite images of clouds recently rediscovered in Hendricks’s archive, a travel trunk which survived flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and a roomful of leaves taken from New York City parks. The show will also include one of Hendricks’s “Sky Ladder” works displaying a series of watercolors, and a painted “Sky Laundry” piece suspended from the wall. Together, this installation seeks to present a range of the influential artist’s practice to a new audience.

Known as “Cloudsmith” during his lifetime, Hendricks painted images of cerulean blue skies with puffs of white clouds on a panoply of objects including traditional stretched canvas, but also laundry hung on lines, a garden shovel with rocks, and a driveable Volkswagen, to name a few. The artist often worked with natural and found materials such as leaves and branches, as well as old ladders and chairs, sourced from whatever locale he exhibited in. His installations frequently acted as stages for his performances, which embodied a sense of chance and possibility.

Geoffrey Hendricks (1931-2018) was an American artist associated with Fluxus, living and working in New York City and Nova Scotia. He taught at Rutgers University from 1956 to 2003, and then became professor emeritus of art. From the mid-1960s Hendricks exhibited internationally and participated in Fluxus festivals. In 2002, he edited Critical Mass: Happenings, Fluxus, Performance, Intermedia and Rutgers University, 1958–1972, a book that documents the seminal creative activity and experimental work of faculty members such as Bob Watts, Allan Kaprow, George Brecht, Hendricks, and others.

The show is assembled in collaboration with Sur Rodney (Sur), Hendricks’s spouse along with artists/archivists Brad Melamed and Andrea Evans of the Hendricks Estate.

September 7 / Press + Collector Preview – 11AM – 5PM / Opening – 5PM – 8PM

Impressions of The Flowers Themselves

Alina Bliumis, Joseph Liatela, and Joey Rosin

Curated by Chiara Mannarino and Francesca Pessarelli

Spring/Break Art Show

 625 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022

Booth # 1041

This September, Curators Chiara Mannarino and Francesca Pessarelli present Impressions of the Flowers Themselves, which takes botanist and cyanotype photographer Anna Atkins’ deep connection and consideration for her botanical subjects as its point of departure. Alina Bliumis, Joseph Liatela, and Joey Rosin align with this empathic relationship to plants and, each in a different way, address the symbolic potential of flowers and their ability to evoke ideas of rebirth, transformation, and utopia.

Bliumis is a research-based artist who approaches historical and political moments through the lens of the natural world. In her series Endangered: Portraits of Flowers, Bliumis gives renewed life and agency to endangered and extinct flowers through portraiture. Hand-carved frames imbue these plants with a sense of personhood and reflect the histories and mythologies associated with them. Many of the flowers Bliumis includes in this series have medicinal or psychedelic properties – their healing and transportive capabilities often leading to their exploitation and extinction.

Liatela is a multidisciplinary artist who uses performance and sculpture to address trans and queer subjectivities and embodiment. His work considers the historical use of flowers in memorials and their inherent symbolism of death and rebirth. In his installation Untitled (Ascension), Liatela applies these concepts to the body, addressing the transitory nature shared by plants and humans and one’s ability to transform over time. His work serves as an altar upon which we commemorate the individuals and parts of ourselves we have lost while looking towards the infinite potential of the reborn self.

Rosin is a musician, sound healer, and budding scent artist. In line with Bliumis’ and Liatela’s exploration of ephemerality and loss, Rosin has created a four-piece sonic landscape entitled Bardo – a Tibetan word that describes the liminal space between death and rebirth. Also by Rosin is Altarpiece – a unique fragrance that will be diffused throughout the exhibition space. Rosin has poetically conceptualized these works as a metaphorical diptych. Harnessing the evocative nature of scent and sound, Rosin’s aim is to encapsulate the beauty of a natural world that no longer exists and will never exist again.

Born in the wake of the Age of Enlightenment, during which historically prevailing notions of the self came into question, Anna Atkins turned such inquiries to the botanical world as well, considering how flora, too, can constitute moral agents. Impressions of the Flowers Themselves seeks to blur and make arbitrary the line between human and botanical life, speaking to the impossibility of extricating ourselves and our ideals from the natural world and its mythologies. The exhibition will act as an altar, a memorial, a meditative space where we can imagine an alternate present, one in which we haven’t lost these literal and figurative flowers and the stories and values they carry with them.

Jeff Bliumis, ELONGATED HISTORY

Curated by Filippo Fossati and Jennifer Bacon

Spring/Break Art Show

 625 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022

Booth # 1135

For this year’s Spring Break Art Show we are presenting a selection of bronze bas-relief and small sculptures by Jeff Bliumis, a selection of new works made from two different series.

The first series comprises nine bronze bas-reliefs, made in the guise of “elongated coins” or “pressed pennies”, as they are commonly known. They are pennies made of copper which in the old days were flattened manually by placing them on trains’ tracks, and have been made mechanically since 1893 thanks to a machine first presented at the World’s Columbian Exposition held in Chicago to celebrate, a year late, the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in the New World. Since then these flattened copper pennies have become part of the capitalistic tradition of merchandising. Elongated coins have been used since as commemorative or souvenir tokens and it was common until a few years ago to find them in touristic places: in museums, theaters, amusement parks, at concerts and stadiums. They were of course at the same time instruments of propaganda. Serving political and religious rallies, they memorialize latitudes, glorify events, canonize someone’s candidate. Jeff has transformed the small copper pennies into large shaped bronze bas-relief, each of them motivated by tragic events in recent American history. They are sculptures of resilience and remembrance, robust shields, plaques freezing historical actions such as the 1839-1845 Anti-Rent War in upstate New York, where the artist lives and works, to the murders of John Lennon and JFK, to the 9/11 attack in Manhattan, ending with the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol.

The second group of unique patinated bronzes inspired by one of the many legendary literary and artistic themes that comes from ancient oriental tales; flying carpets. Bliumis’ magic carpets depict passengers and happenings; astronauts, animals, and riders of all kinds caught traveling alone or in groups. Happening simultaneously on an otherwise domestic and ordinary object are two astronauts chatting, a naked family sitting around a campfire, a class of buddha, a mermaid fishing, a skateboarder caught jumping on a carpet-made wave. A flying carpet is a privileged space that allows for a mystical experience; a limited space that grants the illusion of the infinite, preposterous land that can fly. Each carpet is a circumscribed space in which to free the imagination, each a promise of some marvelous distance, a means to access an extraordinary elsewhere, starting from the evident here and now. Bluimis has molded, casted and patinated these small monuments to homage the absurd, and he has made sure that each one is grounded to the earth with a protuberance that enables the viewer to spin them and to rely on the evocative power of art to take off.

Reception – September 9, 2022, 6 – 9PM

Alina Bliumis, CARRYING THE WEIGHT, WAR LANDSCAPES

Curated by Sozita Goudouna

The Opening Gallery

42 Walker St. New York, NY

Alina Bliumis, Carrying the Weight, Mahicantuck, 2021, watercolor on printed linen, 64 x 54 in

Carrying the Weight, War Landscapes is a series of watercolor-on-linen landscapes. The locations were selected based on their historical significance and metaphorical representation in contemporary culture.

Each landscape immerses the viewer in tranquil scenery: a palette of green meadows frames the shallow red waters of the Rubicon River, just south of Ravenna, Italy; a starry night shines into the sea north of Tsushima Island  in Japan; a cool and ghostly morning mist fills a Waterloo field in Belgium; a florid orange sunrise floods warm light over the Berezina River in Belarus; the midday sun sends its beams over the rocky Golgotha hill near Jerusalem, Israel; a golden hour brings magical light to the sky over field-lines of Austerlitz in Slavkov u Brna, Czechia; Mannahatta blooms with foliage and dramatic pink clouds hang over Mahicantuck, on the Hudson River; and the dreamy landscapes of Andes lie still in the Catskills region in upstate New York.

No visual trace remains of the dramatic historical events that took place against these backdrops: no Caesar or Napoleon with armies in tow, no horses or warships, no crucifixions; no ravages of war, nor signs of revolt. Only the place-names call to mind these histories, inviting the viewer to imagine their personal battles in place of the old. One thinks of crossing a real-life Rubicon, or point of no return; of an encounter with one’s ultimate obstacle—a Waterloo, of sorts; of feeling unavoidably defeated, as if in the gloom at Austerlitz; of failure— “c’est la Bérézina,” one might cry in French; of an occasion of great suffering figured as Golgotha, or of a battle with the ghosts of memory, animated in Tsushima.

The Lenape people inhabited the land on which I work for thousands of years before the European settlers arrived. They named their island home “Mannahatta,” meaning “Island of Many Hills.” We use the term “Mannahatta” to refer to the island as it was in 1609, and “Manhattan” to refer to the metropolis of today.  The river we call the “Hudson,” the Lenape knew as “Mahicantuck,” meaning “river that flows two ways.” 

Reception: September 9, 2022, 6 – 9PM

Jeff Bliumis, VENDORS

Curated by Sozita Goudouna

The Opening Gallery

42 Walker St. New York, NY

Our Western world’s rampant materialism and consumerism and the resulting destruction of our planet’s ecosystems have become the new mil- lennium’s undeniable reality. One recent positive change is that, compared to a few decades ago, today we are at least talking about capitalism’s ex- cesses, which not only imperil earth’s future and all its lifeforms but create life-threatening conditions for a large part of the world’s population—via the effects of climate change, the results of colonial- ism and exploitative geopolitics, the plundering and depletion of the planet’s resources, unsustainable waste management, forced migration, and so on.

Everything seems to be in excess today: people, consumption, poverty, plastic, ignorance, hunger, war, greed, anger, fear, exile… with one part of the world indulging in overabundance and privileges, while the other reaps the perils, shortages, and defeat. The habitual immoderation, mindless consumerism, and wastefulness cultivated by our Western market economy are affecting everyone on this planet. And ironically, the disenfranchised, to ensure their own survival, are often forced to become complicit in the global cycle of unsustainable materialism.

Jeff Bliumis’s latest body of work enters exactly there, large-scale paintings of “flying vendors” at a Mediterranean beach as observed by Bliumis on a visit there. African refugees looking for work in Europe are often forced to cater to the affluent, thus inadvertently supporting conditions that contributed to their fleeing their home countries, which have become inhabitable due to war, poverty, severe weather, violence and more—all originating in some form of Western exploitation.

The vendors in Bliumis’s paintings emerge like apparitions from the sea (Morning Vendor), literally tethered to their ware of colorful inflatables. In a twist of logic, visually the vendors present excess and riches, wearing multiple hats and being “dressed” in layers of toys, yet underneath they are poor and without a license. Their clients will apply their ha- bitual racist gaze (Sunbather’s Gaze)—they won’t ask about the vendors’ perilous journeys here, let alone contemplate the absurdity of their jobs. The plastic junk they are forced to sell will likely end up in the ocean, completing the ruthless cycle that contributes to refugees’ displacement in the first place. The Evening Vendor walks toward the ocean as if to disappear there with the sun. The vendors’ invisibility as people under their garish ware echoes our daily reality, which favors the pursuit of material desires over meaningful human encounters. Bliumis’s compositions tap into the seductive potential of color and shape—in painting as much as in any commodity. — text by Sabine Russ

15. Carolee Schneemann, FF Alumn, upcoming events

Carolee Schneemann: Body Politics opens at the Barbican on September 8

Sept 8, 2022 – Jan 8, 2023

The first survey in the UK of Schneemann’s work and the first major exhibition since her death in 2019, Body Politics runs from September 8, 2022 through January 8, 2023.

Tracing Schneemann’s diverse, transgressive and interdisciplinary work over six decades, the show celebrates a radical and pioneering artist who remains a feminist icon and point of reference for many contemporary artists and thinkers. The exhibition will feature the artist’s early paintings; her experimental sculptural assemblages and kinetic works; her pioneering performance work in which she used her own body as a medium; her ground-breaking group performances; as well as her lyrical films and immersive multi-media installations. With over 300 objects and rarely seen archival material, this exhibition positions Schneemann as one of the most relevant, provocative and inspiring artists of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Carolee Schneemann: 1955–1959 opens on September 17 at Hales Gallery

September 17 – October 29, 2022

This exhibition brings together significant figurative paintings and an early body of drawings from a period that Schneemann spent in New York and Bennington, Vermont. It was during this period that Schneemann developed her “Action Drawings,” which connect the canvas and process to the physical body and kinetic movement.

https://halesgallery.com/exhibitions/191-carolee-schneemann-1955-1959/

Currently on view: New York: 1962–1964 at The Jewish Museum

New York: 1962–1964, the last project conceived and curated by Germano Celant (1940 – 2020), explores a pivotal three-year period in the history of art and culture in New York City, examining how artists living and working in New York responded to their rapidly changing world, through more than 150 works of art—all made or seen in New York between 1962 and 1964. ⁠Exhibition runs through January 8, 2023.

From a New York Times review by Holland Cotter:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/21/arts/design/jewish-museum-pop-art.html

“Solomon’s Venice group show – intended, he said, to ‘impress Europeans with the diversity of American art’ – had no women, but Celant’s includes several. Materially rich assemblages by Nancy Grossman and Carolee Schneemann seen here are more interesting to look at and think about than almost anything around them. (Schneemann had to wait decades for her own Venice moment; she won the Biennale’s Golden Lion for lifetime achievement in 2017.)”

20. Betty Beaumont, FF Alumn, at NYU Gallatin WetLab, Governors Island, NY, opening Sept. 10

NYU Gallatin WetLab is pleased to announce feel rubble, an exhibition of Betty Beaumont, Beverly Buchannan, and Gabriela Salazar curated by Patrick Bova.

Betty Beaumont’s work includes three short videos: The Journey, Ocean Landmark Virtual World, and Imagining Imaging, as well as the installation of The Object.

“I processed 500-tons of an industrial waste product, laid it on the floor of the Atlantic and created a flourishing environment no one can see.

The Object preceded the construction of the underwater Ocean Landmark in 1980 – it is not a copy. It was created to gain a sense of mass, scale and shape of the 17,000-block project – each solid block being 8 inches by 8 inches by 16 inches (about the width of a person).

Ocean Landmark started to change at the point of its installation in 1980. It has grown and developed over these (twenty-two) years and will continue to evolve. Though photo documentation exists—the project is not available to be viewed.

The relationship of The Object to the underwater project has changed. This miniature is not a mirror or replica of what is there now – it is not a maquette.

Ocean Landmark is mediated by time. It has been transformed from geometric blocks into a lush underwater garden that is fished and feeds people. Fundamental to the original concept of the work was the belief that its integrity resided in its invisibility—it could only be imagined.

The Object is a tangible reminder of something invisible but real. It is presented in the gallery distinct from the mother Ocean Landmark. Presenting The Object now calls into question ‘the real.’ This was not my original intention but is a reinterpretation of The Object…”  

– Betty Beaumont 1988

Betty Beaumont has received prestigious grants and awards including the 2006 Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of California at Berkeley, and grants from Creative Capital, National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, the Gottlieb Foundation, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation. In addition to numerous exhibitions in galleries in Europe, Asia, and the US, she has shown internationally at museums including The Centre Pompidou-Metz (France), The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (Alexandria, Egypt), National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto and Tokyo), Museum Het Domein (Sittard, Netherlands), Bibliotéca Nacional José Marti (Havana, Cuba), Whitney Museum of Art, MoMA P.S.1, Queens Museum, Hudson River Museum (Yonkers, NY), and Katonah Museum (Katonah, NY). Beaumont has held academic positions at the University of California at Berkeley, SUNY Purchase, Hunter College, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, New York University, and Columbia University.

21. Carey Lovelace, FF Member, at The Geffen Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA, opening Sept. 10

Visions2030 invites you:

Judith F. Baca in conversation with Carey Lovelace for the opening of WORLD WALL: A VISION OF THE FUTURE WITHOUT FEAR at the Geffen Center, the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.

Introduction by MOCA Curator Anna Katz

Curator and writer Carey Lovelace joins acclaimed muralist Judith F. Baca in a dialogue about Baca’s practice and about how art-making can be a means of envisioning and realizing a better future.  In 2019, Lovelace founded the initiative Vision2030, which aims to harness artistic imagination as a means of creating new societal paradigms.  This event inaugurates the exhibition of this important work at the museum.

Saturday, September 10, 2022, 3-4pm

The Geffen Contemporary at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art

152 N Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012

FREE PROGRAM.  Advance RSVP for admission is suggested.

General Information: (213) 626-6222 or email info@moca.org

The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA is accessible via public transportation.

Visions2030, founded by Lovelace, is a multiple-platform initiative dedicated to harnessing the imagination to create new paradigms and new models of society. (In September 2023, Visions2030 plans to host EcoConsciousness2023 in Los Angeles, an eight-day, multi-node, fertile “exploratorium” of sensory environments and visionary arts projects intended to ignite the imagination and galvanize global change.)

Judith F. Baca: World Wall Public Programming will continue through upcoming months:

Revolutionary muralist Baca conceived of World Wall: A Vision of the Future Without Fear as an “an arena for dialogue” regarding the greatest challenges we face and the solutions we imagine when we think and act collectively.  Judith F. Baca: World Wall: Public Programming looks to embody these ideals of activism and imagination.   The series of free programs, which takes place within the exhibition itself, highlights the intersection of environmental and social justice across many disciplines and draws attention to activists, writers, organizers, and artists working to instigate real change within the city.

23. Katya Grokhovsky, FF Intern Alumn, at Ortega y Gasset Projects, Brooklyn, opening Sept. 10

Ortega y Gasset Projects proudly presents Point A: Chapter One, a solo exhibition by Ukrainian born Brooklyn based artist, Katya Grokhovsky in the Main Gallery. A reception for the artist will be held September 10th 5-8pm.

Reflecting on Grokhovsky’s experience of growing up in Ukraine and double migration, Point A: Chapter One is a mixed-media exhibition, which investigates memory, place and origin, via installation, sculpture, video, painting and performance. By excavating childhood recollections, reimagining and reconstructing fragments of images, places and objects, a collage of absences and fragmented moments is staged. The presence of melancholy, nostalgia and longing, alienation and anxiety is explored as a space of existence for the inner ghost of pre-migration identity at the time of war and global health crisis

Exploring migration, cultural identity, labor, gender, history and the self through research, material experimentation and autobiographical experience, Grokhovsky weaves the personal and political together. Building worlds and personas, which examine stereotypes, prejudices, and trauma, emphasizing the absurd and the uncanny in the everyday, her work reclaims the body through pleasure, chaos and refusal, residing in the space of the critical Capitalist grotesque, whilst occupying a 21C Dadaist Garage-Band Feminist Punk territory. 

Gallery Hours: Saturday and Sunday 1-6 pm and by appointment

26. Joseph Nechvatal, FF Alumn, at Galerie Richard, Paris, France, thru Oct. 22

Joseph Nechvatal 

Turning the Viral Tempest  

Tournant de la tempête virale 

Galerie Richard 

74 rue de Turenne, Paris, 75003 

September 3 thru October 22, 2022 

“An invisible circulating virus has humbled our powers of perception. Its human-to-human transmission essentially steers  culture towards a heightened sense of connectivity, delicacy and vulnerability.” – Joseph Nechvatal 

In the first gallery of the Turning the Viral Tempest exhibition, four 2022 Orlando Manifesting paintings are hung, one  on each wall. This hanging suggests a turning circular dynamic within the room that parallels the physical turning  of Joseph Nechvatal’s The Viral Tempest double LP record when played. The Viral Tempest record has recently been  released by Pentiments. Nechvatal also connects this circular turning dynamic to his memory of seeing Quad, a  1981 television play by Samuel Beckett, where four hunched hooded asexual figures in robes turn around and  around a stage in set patterns. 

The second gallery of the Turning the Viral Tempest exhibition is hung with a straight line of smaller canvases from  Nechvatal’s 2020 Galerie Richard show Orlando et la tempête. Taken together, the Tournant de la tempête virale exhibition indirectly addresses issues of gender plasticity within our tempestuous viral and social-political times by  imagining nonexistent mythic scenes from the flippant 1928 novel Orlando by Virginia Woolf (the story of an  aristocratic young male poet who transforms into a woman overnight and lives for 300 years). 

The paintings in the exhibition are created with custom C++ artificial life software modeled as a virus (made in  collaboration with the French programmer Stéphane Sikora) and archival inkjet on Hahnemühle Daguerre  canvas. The black node graph panels in some of the small diptychs and triptychs were made in a manner similar  to Markov chains, tracking the word virus in William S. Burroughs 1970 essay The Electronic Revolution. In that essay,  Burroughs draws attention to the subversive influence of the word virus on humans and the dangers of using the  human voice as a weapon. A script was written to analyze the text, where, for every transition from the word virus to  another word virus, a link was drawn between the nodes corresponding to that recurring word. Then Graphviz,  an open source graph visualization software, was used to generate the graph, which Nechvatal then aesthetically treated.
