Liliana Farber, Jacq Groves & Allison Reimus
Essex Flowers is thrilled to announce a show of works by Liliana Farber, Jacq Groves, and Allison Reimus.
A sense of being lost or disconnected in a hyper mapped and connected world
The cyanotypes give the viewer hints at how these skeletal-like pieces might interact.
Bleach, lint balls, and hanging threads react against structure
Searches for lands and for connections that are ultimately unfulfilled.
Liliana Farber’s work combines antique and contemporary strategies to locate the viewer in space, in the present. Timestamps, geolocation points, satellite imagery, old maps, and literature are her raw materials which she uses to ultimately focus our attention on the algorithms’ geopolitical nuances and code biases.
With the blue-boned remnants of an otherworldly creature, Jacq Groves questions the innate drive to understand the unknown and categorize the world around us. They use illegibility and the uncanny to create a shift in perception and a curiosity within the viewer. Groves’ sculptural and installation practice attempts to make visual internal bodily experiences referencing failures of the body, healing, and transformation.
The abstract paintings of Allison Reimus rely on a viewer’s visual/tactile memory log of familiar textiles like woven potholders, embroidered knits and rags. They are draped, stitched, bleached, and attached, creating dissonance and unfamiliarity, while still grounding the viewer with Reimus’ directness and ineffable humor.
