“The Material Image” Exhibition
Marianne Boesky Gallery 64th Street
This event has ended.
The exhibition brings together the work of approximately fifteen artists whose material approaches to creating and presenting photographic images are in active dialogue with abstract painting, sculpture, video, and/or film traditions.
Some of the artists in the show use aspects from photography’s early history that favored surface manipulation of gesture, line, and spatial abstraction that are embraced anew as an active site for continued formal exploration in the studio, darkroom, and even outdoors. Other artists expand specific characteristics of the medium by using the photograph as a point of departure for sculpture investigations that work with support structures and framing devices. For many, there is also often an underlying fluid combination of analog photography intermixed, to greater or lesser degrees, with digital manipulation as these artists construct or “make” their photographs, rather than “take” them.
