黑料不打烊

One can approach the work of Annette Lemieux from any number of perspectives. Exploring Sign/Symbol/Language and the Loaded Grid, Lemieux dissects the oeuvre of Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and at times the mythology of Philip Guston. Fundamentally interdisciplinary in content and form, Lemieux鈥檚 works continue her exploration and explication of cultural constructs and how objects that reflect the self define the self as well. As recently noted by Robert Pincus-Witten, "Her fusion of conceptualism with a studio practice that remains respectful of abstract painting generally, and of minimalism specifically, is unique."

Annette Lemieux works from a repertoire of real objects and images from films and books featuring reproductions of historical photographs from the forties and fifties, which she calls her 鈥渓andscape.鈥� In her recent show entitled Unfinished Business at the Carpenter Center, Harvard University, Lemieux explored the territory between object, mediated memory, personal experience and cultural history that has informed her practice for three decades. Lemieux鈥檚 objects and imagery derive directly from the world as it exists, not from the recesses of a private imagination that must search itself to produce the substance of invented images.
