"YOU HAVE BEEN THERE: departures, bifurcations" Exhibition
Marian Goodman Gallery
This event has ended.
Marian Goodman Gallery presents a group exhibition curated by Marie Muracciole.
This exhibition began in Paris last summer. This second iteration assembles a renewed selection of works organized around the idea of departure. Here some works relate to the passage from one place to another, from one time to another. Some refer to changes in life, to the end of a story or a belief. Each one shows, in its own way, the energy and the loss generated by mutations of trajectories, by choices and separations. The title evokes a fugitive vision or, in a more analytical way, the distance covered or imagined, the metamorphosis and birth that inhabits some process of displacement.
Fourteen artists, whose practices are distinct, from different generations and contexts, meet around a state of departure or bifurcation. Cartographies, transitory surveys, fictive constellations, representations of waiting or separation; these images tell not just one story. They do not resemble one another and do not complete each other. They are not trying to compose a formal or ideological cohesion. They witness or displace some situation in life that deals with separation, or alternatively use separation as process. In the time that has passed since some of these works were done they may have acquired new dimensions. Their common presence opens possible derivations, inviting us to engage in passage and try to figure out where we stand and what makes us present.
