SPLOTCH
Sperone Westwater is pleased to present Splotch, a two-venue exhibition on the Lower East Side curated by Eileen Jeng. Splotch features artists whose work involves a methodical and controlled process of creating seemingly freeform or random daubs and spots. The title of the show is inspired by Sol LeWitt鈥檚 fiberglass pieces titled Splotches and their working drawings or 鈥渇ootprints.鈥� LeWitt鈥檚 12-foot long sculpture Splotch #3, 2000, last shown in New York City at The Met, will be on view at Sperone Westwater. The footprints of Splotch #3 will be exhibited for the first time at Lesley Heller Workspace.
The artists鈥� approaches are structured, yet left up to elements of chance and failure. With predetermined and self-imposed rules, these artists explore the boundaries of various mediums as well as the tension between control and spontaneity. They also examine the body, scientific and mathematical concepts, nature, pop culture, and cultural identity. Dichotomies examined include: absence and presence, fluidity and stability, order and disorder.
