NYAB Event - Jennifer Steinkamp "Premature"

This event has ended.
At Lehmann Maupin (540 W 26th Street)
Media: Painting

The Los Angeles based artist is known for her projected installations utilizing 3-dimensional computer animation. Steinkamp’s works interact between the actual space and illusionistic space resulting in environments where the lines between viewer and object blur. In her new series, "Premature," Steinkamp will continue to employ large-scale projections and new media technology to create illusionistic environments.

In the "Premature" series, Steinkamp explores the timing of life and death. “Our being can start or end so abruptly; this feels dauntingly abstract to me,” Steinkamp says of the subject matter. Depictions of tangled fibrous strands resembling veins, arteries and tendons slither amongst one another in her new work. Steinkamp describes the works as having “meat-like texture, which flows along undulating tubular forms.” These compelling and almost hypnotizing works evoke the eerie inspirations, which drive the artist.
