Manscaping: New York
The Hole is proud to present Manscaping, our yearly thematic group extravaganza now across two galleries, Bowery and Los Angeles. With over sixty artists on both coasts and a forthcoming catalogue, Manscaping looks at depictions of landscape today with a whiff of gender nonsense.
As a genre, landscape has been central to art since pre-history as humankind intrinsically seeks to record the world around it. Whether accurate or idealized, landscape reveals as much about the recorder as the recorded; just as in past centuries cartography showed how past peoples viewed the world as they tried to make sense of it, today the new frontiers to chart are intangible: video mapping instead of cartography, deep space instead of deep oceans, but the drive to give image to the world around us persists.
Landscape today may not be the most snazzy genre; right now all the fireworks are still in figuration鈥攁nd, as with our thematic group exhibition last year, Nature Morte, even still life is popping off. Landscape is the slow burn, where our contemporary world is reflected but with less flash. I have to be in the right headspace myself, and it is nice that these two exhibitions provide a figuration-free environment in which we can adjust our eyes to the solitude.
