黑料不打烊

Curated by Michael Bühler-Rose Priska C. Juschka Fine Art is pleased to present The Form Itself, curated by Michael Bühler-Rose. The artists in this exhibition engage a variety of mediums in a self-reflective dialogue on the potential and purity of their respective discipline鈥檚 forms. David Haxton and Talia Chetrit both tinker in photographic alchemy. Chetrit reduces photography to its purest element, light, in the form of primary colors and black and white test strips. Haxton records the remnants of performances that investigate the way light creates photographic space. Adrian Crabbs utilizes a shipping pallet as a printing plate, placing a standard item directly into the art making process. Stripping job applications to their compositional essentials, Joy Drury Cox鈥檚 drawings point to the standard institutional space that is between the lines of all potential employment. Through the video recording of chromatic scales, Austin Willis lays bare the basics of video, image and sound, and creates a unique composition that uses his library of footage. Van Hanos, Matt Johnson, Ryan Kitson and Roula Partheniou create perceptually challenging works that investigate the potential of a variety of visual conventions. Hanos uses faux marbleizing and Venetian plaster techniques that connects abstract painting to a new form of Modernism. Johnson鈥檚 work at first reads as an abstract image, but is actually a 鈥淢agic Eye鈥� camouflaging a wholly figurative solution. Kitson uses an everyday object to create both a conceptually and emotionally engaging sculpture. Partheniou鈥檚 projects challenge the possibilities of standard forms with ready-made canvases representing items of the same dimensions, and Rubik鈥檚 cubes forming conceptual sculpture.
