Twice Removed
Trestle Gallery is pleased to present Twice Removed, organized by guest curator Derrick Velasquez, of Yes Ma'am Projects, an artist-run space in Denver, Colorado. The exhibition is the last of the pandemic-delayed, Artist-Run 2020 series, a year-long exploration of artist-run projects throughout the country.
Twice Removed brings together artists Hisham Akira Bharoocha, Joey Cocciardi, Julie Henson, Lara Nickel, Diego Rodriguez-Warner, Ginevra Shay, Laura Shill and Su Su. The artists in this exhibition produce works that dissect and rebuild a vast sea of imagery becoming collages with a sensitivity toward the relationship of individuals and their cultural connections. They are related to personal, political and historical dynamics that temper the desires of humankind.
The term 鈥渢wice removed鈥� plays on two fronts in this exhibition. First, is a process of physical or visual removal. Each artist pulls from what could be considered the vast lexicon of the real world and provides a level of clarity despite layered or missing information. These numberless affiliations become crystalized by utilizing techniques that are material-heavy and analog in nature. The machinations that allow these artworks to manifest range from processing multilayered darkroom techniques, to ripping and breaking drywall to use as a painting substrate. The second play on the title refers to these almost-familiar associations between cultural imagery that may be separated by a potential number of generations like that of a second cousin who you hear about but may never meet.
