11R Eleven Rivington and Van Doren Waxter present 2-venue Jackie Saccoccio solo exhibition “Degree of Tilt”. In “Degree of Tilt”, Jackie Saccoccio asks us to consider her pieces as functional tools, and the exhibition as a continuum of the studio. For this show, Saccoccio has realized her improvisational ‘portraits’ at an ambitious scale, up to 152 inches in width. By manipulating the alchemical qualities of liquid pools, vis-a-vis tipping, dragging and shaking the large-scale works over one another she fuses physical and intangible to form centripetal works.

Metaphorically, Saccoccio’s pieces serve as conceptual containers of overlapping influences that are embedded in the layers. The ill-fated couples Narcissus and Echo, and Cop 663 and Faye from Wong Kar-Wai’s film Chungking Express converge with the palettes of Marilyn Minter, Mondrian and Lisa Yuskavage. Referring to the ancient Roman drainage system, Saccoccio conceives the totality of her paintings as a Cloaca Maxima: a repository where paint and ideas flow and pool.

Saccoccio’s comparison with the Cloaca Maxima resonates as an act of visual and intellectual excavation, mining through the artist’s painted layers, through the last half-century of art making, and through the questions that animate the paintings in “Degree of Tilt”.
