JAMES HYDE – GROUND
2015-11-30An influential and respected figure, Hyde uses the flat field of painting as a topological arena that ties together the physical substance of painting and the ground on which it is laid, extracting spatial dimensions and new meanings from this relationship. In these increasingly direct works, he utilizes abstraction to break photography’s semantic hold on the way we construct an image of the world.1
Hyde looks to the ideas of Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson and their concept of the site and non-site. By framing the natural landscape within the artificial, associations attached to both nature photography and abstract painting are unpacked and deconstructed. As discussed with Lucía Sanromán, “By framing the photograph within the ‘objectness’ of painting…a type of painterly suspicion is created in the photograph”.
Beginning in 2009 Hyde took to the hills of California to photograph the vistas and great panoramas off Interstate 5. Coming from New York, Hyde was struck by the openness and vast perspectives of the California landscape. Two years later he revisited the sites he first photographed, including Pyramid Lake and the oak trees depicted in the series.
The title “Ground” resonates with the descriptive photography of western landscapes. In the painting context, the ground is the active place on which painting occurs. Hyde uses a home brewed paint for these works, consisting of pigment dispersed in acrylic mediums, and in most cases that pigment is a form of ground earth. In turn, Hyde’s photographs follow a “light-room” process developed in the computer, distorting and adjusting it and challenging the notion of any factual naturalism.

KIRSTEN EVERBERG
2015-11-30Everbergʼs latest body of work takes the working and living space of film director and writer Ingmar Bergman on the remote island of Fårö, Sweden, as a point of departure to explore the ways in which creative spaces are constructed and operate as sites of production. The new paintings presented continue Everbergʼs interest in the history and practice of filmmaking, thereby exploring the interplay between memory, fragmentation, photography, cinema and the subjective nature of perception.

ZILVINAS KEMPINAS
2015-11-30Verticals is an installation of unspooled VHS tape, constituting the entire gallery space, evenly dividing and filling it symmetrically. It is a controlled environment, defined by uniformity and monotonous order. Despite its geometry, Verticals sustains a kinetic character and occasionally is animated by natural air circulation in the gallery or by vortexes of air caused by passing visitors. Once the air calms down, the piece comes back to its original stance.
The strips of magnetic tape are suspended above the gallery floor at the same distance; they do not extend all the way to the ceiling, but “stop” at the same height evenly. Their ultra thin edges are facing the same direction. Vertical black pieces of magnetic tape represent elements of time. Barely there, they occasionally disappear out of sight completely, depending on a viewer’s position in the gallery’s space.
In the middle of the floor there is a black shallow box-like object with its surface exposed to the viewers. There are thousands of small steel bearings laid down in oil on its surface. At first they are perceived as one solid formation, but from closer inspection, one may notice an occasional movement here and there – the bearings are slowly moving, one by one, rearranging and re-positioning themselves into an infinite “drawing in progress”.
It is a kinetic sculpture, capable of regenerating itself every time, creating new shapes out of solid metal. The final result (form) is not an objective here, but instead the very process of “becoming”, the act of change and the beauty of chance are at the core of the piece.
