"The works of contemporary figures like Suzan Frecon, Jessica Dickinson, John Zurier, McArthur Binion, Vija Celmins, and Catherine Murphy suggest that an artist’s painstaking creation of a painting, along with its gradual apprehension by viewers, enhances both parties’ awareness of sensual experience and time."

Are: For + remainders / James Fuentes / NYC Recent solo exhibition at James Fuentes, 55 Delancey St., New York, NY. Aug. 1- Sept. 17, 2017
DOUBLES, DOBROS, PLIEGUES, PARES, TWINS, MITADES, curated by Rodrigo Moura, The Warehouse, Dallas, TX remainders included in this group exhibition, July 10 – December 29, 2017.
In the short story William Wilson, Edgar Allan Poe presents a sinister plot: the tale of a character who, from his childhood, experiences the apparition of a figure who in everything resembles and haunts him with similitude and repetition – until he turns out to be himself. It is the doppelgänger, or double, a recurring figure in literature (from Dostoyevsky to Borges and Wilde) and in all the arts. The very act of representing – oneself or the other – can be understood as a gesture of creation of parallel realities, thus doubles to those in which we live. The exhibition DOUBLES, DOBROS, PLIEGUES, PARES, TWINS, MITADES takes this literary figure as a starting point to create an inventory of situations in which otherness and duplication/repetition are manifested in works from The Rachofsky Collection, The Rose Collection, The Collection of Marguerite Steed Hoffman, and the Dallas Museum of Art, among others, assuming diverse configurations: from forms of representation that occur through replicas, shadowing, and mirroring to logical-formal exercises that are expressed by the use of halves and doubles. The narrative departs from works in which the theme of the double appears explicitly – the most striking example being Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ “Untitled” (Perfect Lovers), an iconic piece from the collection with its identical but different clocks – to arrive at the idiom of abstraction, where virtual space and its relationship between exterior and interior constitute a bridge to the rapports between the self and the other.
DOUBLES, DOBROS, PLIEGUES, PARES, TWINS, MITADES includes work by John Ahearn, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Kai Althoff, Laurie Anderson, Giovanni Anselmo, Janine Antoni, Jo Baer, Robert Barry, Georg Baselitz, Alighiero Boetti, Marcel Broodthaers, Vija Celmins, Chung Chang-Sup, Alice Channer, Lygia Clark, Bruce Conner, Alexandre da Cunha, Jessica Dickinson, Rineke Dijkstra, Marlene Dumas, Luciano Fabro, Saul Fletcher, Lucio Fontana, Gilbert & George, Robert Gober, Fernanda Gomes, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Lee Kangso, Ellsworth Kelly, Mary Kelly, Lee Kun-Yong, Luisa Lambri, Glenn Ligon , Seung-Taek Lee, Jorge Macchi, Mangelos, Babette Mangolte, Piero Manzoni, Robert Mapplethorpe, Kris Martin, Allan McCollum, Gabriel Orozco, Damián Ortega, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, R.H. Quaytman, Charles Ray, Ad Reinhardt, Mauro Restiffe, Medardo Rosso, Salvatore Scarpitta, John Schabel, Richard Serra, Jiro Takamatsu, Richard Tuttle, Luc Tuymans, Lee Ufan, William Wegman, Rachel Whiteread, Steve Wolfe, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, as well as objects from Dallas Museum of Art’s Ancient Art of the Americas and Arts of Africa collections.

New Ruins at The American University Museum, January 28–March 12, 2017
Curated by Danielle Mysliwiec and Natalie Campbell
Artists: N. Dash, Jessica Dickinson, Donald Moffett
Sam Moyer, Nathlie Provosty, Brie Ruais
New Ruins presents six contemporary artists whose work foregrounds the specific temporal, material, and tactile aspects of painting as subject. Physical processes such as rubbing, layering, building, wearing away and, on occasion, obliterating combine to offer an alternative to the traditional painter’s mark, altering perception of time and presence. Additionally materials such as bronze, marble, plaster, stone, metal, clay and wood are used to expand the language of painting and its traditional viewing modes. While ruins can be many things, here, the framework of the ruin offers a mode of resistance, not only to assumptions about the language and possibilities of painted surface and form, but to our fading relationship to the temporality, the materiality, and the experience of touch and presence in our increasingly digitized lives. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the AU Studio Art Department.
Opening: January 28, 2017 6-9PM

O / U at P! and Room East, July 15 - August 20, 2016 Group exhibition in two parts at P! and Room East in New York. The show’s title is shorthand for “over-under”—which may refer to the combined score of a gambling or sporting event, a complicated sexual position, or a type of double-barrelled shotgun. In a formal context, over-under suggests overprinting or undercutting. As a maneuver to override or undermine, it has political and strategic connotations. Consider the Übermensch and the underdog. Over-under juxtaposes two prepositions that exist in a dialectic: you cannot have one without the other. Divided between the two galleries, the works on view invoke spatial, hierarchical, and power relations in both overt and understated ways. Artists: Michael Assiff, Julie Ault & Martin Beck, Barbara Bloom, Lars Breuer, Marcel Broodthaers, Sam Charles, Dexter Sinister, Jessica Dickinson, Aaron Gemmill, Wade Guyton, Marc Handelman, Phoebe d’Heurle, Steven Holl, Miles Huston, James Kelly, Zoe Leonard, Kate Levant, Karel Martens, Ebecho Muslimova, Seth Price, Amy Yao, Brian O’Doherty (Patrick Ireland), Aki Sasamoto, Matthew Schrader

ROOM BY ROOM: MONOGRAPHIC PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FAULCONER AND RACHOFSKY COLLECTIONS The painting "Close/Close" on view with it's full set of 'remainders', Dallas, TX. Through January 2015
"Room by Room presents a selection of artists of importance to the Rachofsky and Faulconer collections. Spanning many generations, media, and artistic viewpoints, together these artists provide a glimpse into the broad range of the collections inclusive of many of the significant artistic developments in the postwar period. Each room is devoted to the work of a single artist. In some instances (such as with Carroll Dunham, Janine Antoni, and Mona Hatoum) all of the works by the artists in the collections are presented. In others, we focus on a single work. This exhibition will evolve over time as we change certain rooms, introducing the works of additional artists in the collections. Room by Room is an opportunity for us at The Warehouse to examine our commitments to certain artists, to explore what their works reveal about the art of our time (whether singly or in combination), and to set goals and priorities for future collecting." - Allan Schwartzman, Curator of the Exhibition, Director of The Rachofsky Collection, Advisor to The Amy and Vernon Faulconer Collection

Painting from the Zabludowicz Collection:Painting in the 2.5th Dimension The group exhibition will consist of works from the Collection that explore the expanded territory of traditional 2-dimensional painting. With works by artists from the US including Tauba Auerbach, Jessica Dickinson, Sam Falls, Alex Hubbard, Nathan Hylden, Rosy Keyser and Ned Vena, the exhibition looks at practices that involve a supplemental dimension to painting, whether that is photography, sculpture, printmaking or time-based interactions with painting. These works strain at the boundaries of painting’s history and physicality, suggesting a metaphysics of painting, which the exhibition will explore.

Besides, With, Against, And Yet: Abstraction and The Ready-Made Gesture > The Kitchen, New York, Dec.13-Jan.16, 2009 < This group exhibition brings together more than twenty New York-based artists whose works engage diverging conceptual approaches to abstract painting and question the fundamental roots of the medium’s modernist legacies. Renegotiating histories of painting with a mixture of both irony and sincerity, these artists appropriate aspects of non-narrative abstraction as “ready-made” vocabularies to be reinvented. Whether resulting from detached and mechanized modes of production or more direct, hand-rendered means, the works’ formal gestural qualities are offered up in relation to conceptual, minimalist, process, and pop art traditions. The artists in the show include: Richard Aldrich, Polly Apfelbaum, Kerstin Brätsch, Jessica Dickinson, Cheryl Donegan, Keltie Ferris, Wade Guyton, Jaya Howey, Alex Hubbard, Jacqueline Humphries, Jacob Kassay, Jutta Koether, Nate Lowman, Seth Price, R.H. Quaytman, Blake Rayne, Davis Rhodes, Cheyney Thompson, Patricia Treib, Charline von Heyl, and Kelley Walker. Curated by Debra Singer.
