Heike-Karin Föll “Metal”
Mathew NYC
This event has ended.
Mathew NYC presents metal, the first solo exhibition by Heike-Karin Föll in New York City and her second with the Gallery.
The exhibition will premiere a series of new paintings on canvas as well as a selection of her artists’ books. Philipp Ekardt writes about the relationship between these two poles of Fölls’ production in his text Counterparts/The Empress of the Ephemeral:
“Heike-Karin Foell’s canvases do not emerge from her books - cahiers of notes, scribbles, drawings, exercises - but at this point they have their necessary counterpart in them. One could describe them as probing relations with the ephemeral, as well as plumbing distances in and between media. We might look at these paintings as transposing the conditions of the book to the general spatial situation of the exhibition. But what, exactly, is the equivalent of the page here? Is it the single canvas, on which strokes, shades of color, the occasional interspersed letters figure? Or is it the wall, on which the paintings are mounted? Are we looking at the media-equivalents of several sheets, on which the artist has left her traces, marks, her work? Or, is the entire wall the equivalent of a printed surface, on which individual pictures appear? Is this a sketch book? Or a page in a magazine? Or, even a screen?”
