The Last Picture Show
Churner and Churner proudly presents The Last Picture Show with work by twelve artists with whom we have worked closely over the past several years: Joianne Bittle, Jude Broughan, Anthony Campuzano, Jaime Davidovich, Dave Hardy, Karen Heagle, Nick Hornby, Jordan Kantor, Nils Karsten, Daniel Levine, Taylor Mead, and Lisi Raskin. This will be the gallery鈥檚 final exhibition.
Four years ago, we brought Joianne Bittle鈥檚 trailer diorama from Marfa, Texas, to 10th Ave. in Chelsea for the gallery鈥檚 inaugural exhibition. From the beginning, we were committed to showing artwork that was captivating, challenging, and commanding. We introduced audiences to Nick Hornby鈥檚 monumental sculptures, Danny Lyon鈥檚 China series, and Ander Mikalson鈥檚 collaborative performances, and delved into the archives with Jaime Davidovich and Judy Henry鈥檚 Wooster Enterprises and Paul McMahon鈥檚 Project, Inc. We screened films and videos, and hosted book launches, readings, performances, installations, and artists鈥� talks. Above all, Churner and Churner provided a platform for solo exhibitions, giving exposure to emerging artists and those who are historically relevant but perhaps under-recognized, with an emphasis on creating dialogues between several generations of exceptional artists. In particular, we wanted to connect those artists who came of age in the early 鈥�70s, the so-called Pictures Generation, with those reaching their stride now. Both groups confront and contest the prepackaged nature of artistic production and manage to create work that is informed and delicate. We are returning to West Texas鈥攁lbeit figuratively鈥攆or this exhibition by borrowing Larry McMurtry鈥檚 title. The Last Picture Show is its own coming-of-age story, one that we want to celebrate along with the many achievements of our artists.
