SUMMARY:Trenton Doyle Hancock: Torpedoboy and the Revisionist Mystery
DESCRIPTION:In his eighth solo exhibition with James Cohan\, Trenton Doyle Hancock presents a series of new paintings that represent an expansion of The Exchange\, depicting an imagined meeting between the artist’s alter ego Torpedo Boy\, a Black superhero\, and the buffoonish Klansmen that populated Philip Guston’s paintings. Hancock prizes the ambiguity and the mutability of this moment\, and has returned to it again and again. As he notes: “The more you dissect the image\, the more it becomes fraught with historic tension and with my own history as a painter. It keeps feeding itself as an image. The item that is exchanged between them changes the narrative each time.” \nThis body of new work is presented as a conceptual extension of his concurrent major museum exhibition\, Draw Them In\, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston\, which is on view at The Jewish Museum in New York from November 8\, 2024\, through March 30\, 2025. This immersive presentation\, co-curated by Hancock\, will explore the artists’ shared commitment to investigating the legacy of white supremacy in the United States in ways that are both emotionally raw and deeply humorous.

SUMMARY:The Superfluity of Things
DESCRIPTION:James Cohan is pleased to present The Superfluity of Things\, a group exhibition that celebrates the enduring vitality of the still life tradition for contemporary artists. This exhibition presents an intergenerational cross-section of artists working within and against the genre to plum its expressive possibilities across a variety of media\, including painting\, photography\, and sculpture. The Superfluity of Things will be on view at 52 Walker Street from September 6 through October 19\, 2024. The gallery will host an opening reception on Friday\, September 6\, from 6-8 PM. \nThroughout the history of art\, depictions of the table and its contents have been used as a storytelling device to convey skillfully coded meaning and sociocultural significance to the viewer. Taking the genre of still-lifes as its entry point\, this exhibition expands upon art historical precedents to think about the table not only as a site and signifier of power\, position\, and social status but also a place of gathering\, sharing\, communal pleasure\, and on occasion\, discord. \nOne of the most enduring motifs throughout this exhibition is a series of varied approaches to vanitas painting; traditionally\, still lives that contain allegorical collections of objects symbolic of the inevitability of death\, the transience of life\, and the vanity of earthly pursuits and pleasures. There is both a sense of horror and carnal delight infused in these highly detailed depictions of consumption and consumerism. In the hands of the contemporary artistic interpreters featured in this exhibition\, these images often take a turn for the surreal and the humorous. \nOther artists in the exhibition examine the ways in which the table functions as connective tissue within families\, across generations\, or among friends. In these sensitive and sometimes fantastical depictions of memory making\, the table is the stage for drama\, celebration\, and imaginative possibility. There is an intimacy to these scenes\, often staged in private or domestic settings\, within which the viewer is afforded a precious but fleeting glimpse of the moments that bind us together. \nIn the creative consciousness\, the studio as the crucible for generative thought and self-actualization looms large. For several artists in The Superfluity of Things\, the drafting table or desk is fundamental and equally as meaningful a site for creative expression as any other. In several works in this exhibition\, reference materials stack high\, visualizing the many channels of thought that stream together to create an artwork.
