SUMMARY:David Novros
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of work by David Novros will open at Paula Cooper Gallery on May 11th\, 2019\, highlighting the breadth of his artistic production. In addition to several large-scale multipartite canvases—for which the artist is most well-known—the show will explore Novros’s expansive and prolific approach to painting across a range of material and scale. Included will be painted works of copper\, iron\, and ceramic as well as watercolors. The show will open with a reception from 6 to 8 pm on Saturday\, May 11th and remain on view through June 15th at 524 West 26th Street. \nNovros creates work that pushes beyond its internal pictorial space to generate a dynamic\, kinesthetic experience. Inspired by Italian frescoes\, Byzantine mosaics\, Paleolithic cave paintings\, and other in situ artworks\, his surfaces are not intended to hold the eye but rather to promote movement with a painted place. The artist explains: “I am trying to identify the poetic reality of the paintings. I don’t have any particular system. Sometimes I paint one area of a painting for years—trying to find the ‘right’ light. I keep working until the painting gives me permission to move on.”1 \nIn Boathouse\, 2016\, a work first commissioned as a painted place\, Novros employs an iterative motif of borders and right angles—both within the painted composition of each canvas as well as in their collective arrangement on the wall. Enhanced by the use of subtle tonal shifts or\, alternately\, bold complementary colors\, the work is at once placid and buoyant. Though the artist’s technique first appears simple\, on close examination its rich variation of brushwork and hue builds an elusive yet almost tangible layered depth. For his recent work K (2017)\, Novros pushes this further by once again using iridescent Murano paint and oil to achieve a luminous and radiant surface. \nBeyond the canvas works\, a selection of watercolors\, painted Coppers\, and ceramic objects explore a wide vocabulary of materials and forms. Created in the 1980s in New Mexico\, Novros’s copper works are made by exploding a line charge to generate projections in the metal. The works recall Novros’s interest in Byzantine and Paleo-Christian art and reflect his fascination with the process of their creation. Novros’s porcelain and plaster Solar Model envisions an architectural shelter to house a mural cycle. Evocative of an atrium-style Roman house\, the object relates to two new monumental canvas works\, also on view\, which are based on imagined views of the model’s painted interior. Made in 1975\, Portable Cave recalls the artist’s acclaimed portable murals\, which he began in 1965 as a way to expand his interest in painting-in-place. The work’s earthy tones and recessed space absorbs ambient light. \nDavid Novros was born in 1941 in Los Angeles\, CA\, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California in 1963. His work was first exhibited in a two-person show with Mark di Suvero in 1965 at the Park Place Gallery in New York. Novros had his first one-person shows at Park Place Gallery and Dwan Gallery the following year. His work has been exhibited in prominent venues\, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; the Museum of Modern Art\, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; the Dallas Museum of Fine Art\, Dallas; and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston. Novros was the subject of a one-person show\, Contemporary Conversations: David Novros and The Menil Collection\, in 2006. The show was part of a series of exhibitions that continues to celebrate living artists whose works are in the Menil’s permanent collection. The Museum Wiesbaden (Germany)\, presented a one-person exhibit of Novros’ work in 2013 and permanently installed his monumental piece\, Salidas (2012-2016) in 2017. The artist currently lives and works in New York City. \n\n\nPhong Bui\, “In Conversation: David Novros with Phong Bui\,” The Brooklyn Rail\, June 7\, 2008.

SUMMARY:Céleste Boursier-Mougenot\, Liz Glynn\, Robert Grosvenor\, Justin Matherly\, Paul Pfeiffer
DESCRIPTION:Opening on April 4th\, 2019 is a group exhibition of major sculpture by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot\, Liz Glynn\, Robert Grosvenor\, Justin Matherly\, and Paul Pfeiffer\, each inhabiting a discrete part of the gallery. Encompassing a range of material and scale\, the works obscure the boundaries of familiar objects\, traditional narratives\, and normative modes. Using techniques of remaking\, rebroadcasting\, and repurposing\, the artists expose the underside of things presumed known. The exhibition will be on view through May 4th\, 2019 at 524 West 26th Street. There will be an opening reception on Thursday\, April 4th from 6 to 8pm. \nExtracting musical potential from the soundtrack of quotidian life\, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s index\, v.4 (2005/2009) consists of an unaccompanied Pleyel grand piano\, mysteriously playing without a pianist. Wired to a complex\, live feed\, the piano strikes notes based on a predetermined metric for translating data into pitch\, repetition\, and chord. Concretizing as music\, the piece renders enigmatic and affective the mundane functions of the everyday. Boursier-Mougenot states: “It is not a question of putting a sound object on display\, but rather to show the unfolding of a whole system.” \nLiz Glynn studies the ways in which cultural objects of the past embody or challenge values\, power dynamics\, and social systems. Originally conceived for her major exhibition at SculptureCenter\, Afterimage: Cuzco (Golden Maize)reexamines the Spanish conquest and cultural destruction of the Incan Empire—specifically the 1532 ransom of Incan emperor Atahualpa by Francisco Pizarro. Glynn’s golden corn stalks and maize act as literal and poetic surrogates for the massive sums of precious metals that Pizarro demanded as payment. Through their humble materials and imperfect artisanship\, Glynn’s reproductions question their own authenticity and ultimately the narratives that they denote.1 \nFor his recent sculpture Untitled (2018)\, Robert Grosvenorpresents a vehicular object standing upright in the center of a self-contained space. Illuminated from the rear\, the rectangular receptacle is left open on one end\, revealing a brilliant golden interior. Quietly and strangely punctuating the container\, the central structure asserts a matter-of-fact presence\, its cardinal red body reflecting the suffusive amber light. Resisting interpretation as both a discrete and holistic entity\, the work mines the tension between the familiar and the disaffiliated\, eluding semantic specificity. \nJustin Matherly’s works explore the recrudescence of his 2017 monumental presentation\, titled Nietzsche’s Rock—modeled after a pyramidal boulder in Switzerland\, where Friedrich Nietzsche first formulated his thought of Eternal Recurrence in 1881. For his new works\, Matherly recasts the fragmented molds from his public sculpture\, creating discrete pieces with richly varied surfaces—alternately luminous and alabastrine\, or fissured and stained with nuanced hues. Both spectral and material\, the enigmatic forms evoke Nietzsche’s explanation of Eternal Recurrence as “the heaviest weight\,” whispered by demons as they “steal into your loneliest of loneliness”—but conversely also as the path to supreme affirmation. \nFor Paul Pfeiffer’s new work from his Desiderata series\, the artist rebroadcasts televised excerpts from the American game show\, The Price is Right\, on two miniature screens. Through subtle\, digital manipulations\, Pfeiffer maroons its contestations within the stage set\, keying into their emotional vulnerability. Re-contextualized as a Seussical landscape of brash color and kaleidoscopic proportion\, the absurdity of the stage heightens the isolation of its participants and mirrors the unattainable folly of their consumer desires. Empty shelves and prefabricated props bear evidence of aging and wear\, underscoring a sense of manufactured and systematic false promise. \n\n\nMary Ceruti\, “Liz Glynn: RANSOM ROOM\,” exh. cat.\, SculptureCenter\, Long Island City\, NY (2014)
