Hypothesis for an Exhibition
Dominique L茅vy Gallery is pleased to present a collaborative artists鈥 project, curated by Begum Yasar. Inspired by the work of Giulio Paolini, the project is titled "Hypothesis for an Exhibition," and it is comprised of two components鈥攁n exhibition and an extensive publication dedicated to the work of the participating artists: Richard Aldrich, Harold Ancart, Sebastian Black, Kerstin Br盲tsch, Guyton\Walker, KAYA, Charles Mayton, Giulio Paolini, Seth Price, Josh Smith, R. H. Quaytman, Antek Walczak, and Viola Ye艧ilta莽.
The project aims to explore the parallels in thought and aesthetic strategies between Paolini鈥檚 work, especially of the 1960s and the '70s, and the work of this younger generation of artists based in New York today. The main categories of investigation are: the relationship between the artist, the work, and the spectator; the phenomenon of vision; the becoming of art and the particular work of art; the moment of exhibition; the persona of the artist and the enigma of artistic creation. The project seeks to highlight Paolini's visionary status in this historical lineage as well as the various ways in which the practices under consideration have evolved and taken on additional layers with advancements in technology since Paolini鈥檚 first forays into these areas of investigation in the 1960s.
