SUMMARY:Loose Ends
DESCRIPTION:Jane Lombard Gallery is pleased to present Loose Ends\, a group exhibition celebrating women working in textiles. The collection\, featuring artists Kirsten Hassenfeld\, Victoria Manganiello\, Laura Marsh\, Erin McQuarrie\, Carolina Ponte\, Aiko Tezuka and Ulla-Stina Wikander\, explores the universal applicability of fabric\, bridging cultural tradition with contemporary finesse\, and emphasizing the medium’s constant state of evolution. The exhibition will open on Wednesday\, June 30th\, from 1 PM – 6 PM\, and remain on view through August 6th\, 2021. \nTextiles tell stories. Rooted in historical processes\, they are imbued with ritual\, culture\, and tradition: interactive archives that can be touched\, held\, worn\, shared\, and passed down. There are unique narratives born within the counting of threads\, as there is within every stitch\, weave\, layer\, seam\, mend\, tear\, and year of age. The art of weaving traced back to neolithic times; embroidery the 3rd century; knitting the 5th century and decorative needlepoint the 16th century. Fabric forms and structures grew in complexity with the development of new tools. From ancient times to present day\, methods of textile production have evolved as we evolve\, influencing decoration\, clothing and functional design. Fabric\, as such\, has become intrinsically human.  \nThe featured works from each contributing artist celebrate our entangled relationship with fabric\, exploring its material processes as mechanisms for engaging with storytelling and temporal narratives. Erin McQuarrie presents the process of weaving as a form of live art\, and looms as activateable\, interactive sculptures. Her woven works then are artifactual\, residues or records of live action. Aiko Tezuka explores weaving and unravelling as a way to detangle and understand interwoven surfaces; making visible an object’s current state of being\, and opening a window to its greater history. Victoria Manganiello investigates our relationship with fabric as one of record\, tracking/tracing history and evidencing individual experience through cultural production. Kirsten Hassenfeld employs weaving as a form of repurposing and reclamation\, utilizing recycled materials and re-imagining technical processes to achieve organic structure. Carolina Ponte creates organic forms (tubules\, spouts and nodules) through repetition\, referencing cultural designs\, patterning and color to emphasize the temporality of cultural archives. Laura Marsh uses textiles to generate and amplify dialogues around socio-political and humanitarian issues\, championing accessibility\, inclusivity and material exchange. Ulla-Stina Wikander uses cross-stitching to transform forgotten household objects with new context\, re-dressing artifacts from bygone eras with a colorful\, contemporary twist. \nLoose Ends celebrates textiles as infinite: decorative and functional\, intentional and intuitive\, structured and amorphous\, masculine and feminine\, ageless and ancient\, present and vanishing. Within each loose thread lies the potential for a new connection.

SUMMARY:Lu Yang: "Doku: Digtal-Alaya"
DESCRIPTION:Jane Lombard Gallery is pleased to present Doku: Digital Alaya\, the first New York gallery exhibition of Lu Yang\, a rising star in the global art world. Lu Yang is at the forefront of the generation of artists from China\, born in the 1980s whose lives paralleled the growth of a global economy. In Lu Yang’s world\, cultures collide\, the digital realm prevails\, and religions must be reinterpreted. These artworks–packed with avatars\, while grounded in the latest scientific inquiries—are wildly engaging and often disturbing\, creating post-human life forms in a world dominated by Japanese anime and interactive video games. \nDoku: Digital Alaya combines ancient Buddhist ideas about reincarnation with the latest technology of motion capture and live animation.  Doku is Lu Yang’s latest nonbinary avatar named after the phrase\, “Dokusho Dokushi”\, meaning “We are born alone\, and we die alone.” Digital Alaya\, the title of this show\, is a reference to ālayavijñāna\, the term for a storehouse of consciousness that is the basis of all mental\, spiritual and physical development.  In the course of the exhibition\, Doku appears in six 3-D environments\, each representing one of the six realms of rebirth in a Buddhist concept of reincarnation. \nThe central question is whether our lives in the digital realm—made so acutely apparent during the pandemic—has undermined or replaced ancient religious ideologies.   Lu Yang bypasses meditation or more conventional means of improving karma and goes directly to the assistance of scientists and technicians to find new ways to keep the cycle of life going in cyberspace. \nTo create a life-like digital post-human\, Lu Yang collaborates with a team of scientists\, 3D animators and digital technicians using motion capture\, detailing the features of her face and facial expressions so that the avatar\, Doku\, looks remarkably like its creator. Body movements are also generated through motion capture of dancers and musicians\, providing Doku with a perfect androgynous body. The artist is reborn repeatedly as a nonbinary\, androgynous\, ever-present avatar\, capable of talents beyond physical limitations. Doku appears in six different settings that Lu Yang creates herself using 3D digital techniques. The resulting work is displayed on lightboxes\, videos\, and installations. The video\, Doku: Digital Reincarnation takes viewers behind-the-scenes to see a process straight out of sci-fiction\, as fascinating as the final works themselves. \n\nAbout Lu Yang \nBorn in 1986 in Shanghai where she is currently based\, Lu Yang prefers to play with pronouns and insists she “lives on the internet” to further confuse fixed notions of identity. She attended the China Academy of Fine Art in Hangzhou\, BFA and MFA\, under the tutelage of Zhang Peili\, the godfather of Chinese video art. A 2019 winner of the BMW Art Journey award\, she has shown internationally including the M Woods Museum in Beijing\, the Centre Pompidou in Paris\, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne\, and many other venues. She is currently in the Asia Society Triennial in New York.
