"Its Endless Undoing" Exhibition
Thierry Goldberg
This event has ended.
Thierry Goldberg Gallery presents "Its Endless Undoing," a group exhibition with works by Larry Bamburg, Sebastian Black, Richard Evans, Dominic Nurre, Martin Oppel, Jonathan Peck, Sreshta Rit Premnath, Lauren Seiden, Colin Snapp, and Cody Trepte.
The show takes its title from Cody Trepte’s series of the same name, which refers to the idea of representing absence. By way of reference, that which is disappearing, or has already disappeared, is made present. As a result, whether in idea or form, the line between “something” and “nothing” is blurred. The real, however fragile, becomes that which takes shape through its very undoing.
This sense of the subject of the work as being present without necessarily being made manifest in any single work is apparent in Cody Trepte’s piece on view, in which a ghostly outline of the phrase “Its Endless Undoing” hover over a fuzzy gray background. The artist initially cuts the text out of a photocopied sheet, only to repeatedly scan and reprint it until the extracted letters became visible again. To add another layer of printing artifact to the piece, Trepte half-toned and silkscreened the image so that the text (and the image) could further emerge (or reemerge).
