GERMAINE KRUIP – TWO CIRCLES, MIRRORED
2024-10-07In contemplating this presentation for the Annexe, Kruip imagined a reversed version of the artwork titled Untitled Circle Stainless Steel, Phantom, 2024. Both works are made from the same stainless steel plate polished to a mirror finish.
Although both circles are static, one evokes the presence of a spotlight while the other signifies its absence.
In her work, Kruip often employs pulsating light movements and optical illusions that seamlessly transition between light and shadow, evoking traditions from theatre and cinema. Here, facing each other, both artworks enter a dialogue and embody the artist’s deep fascination with time, light, and geometry, offering viewers a moment of reflection, a resting point.

TIGER ROCHA – BODYFOUNTAIN
2024-10-07Steve Turner is pleased to present bodyfountain, a solo exhibition by New York-based Tiger Rocha, featuring four large-scale abstract paintings that are emotional explorations of the artist’s desires. They are composed of layers of thinned and sculptural oil paint that Rocha slashed and dripped across the canvas over a period of several months. He describes the paintings as expansive erotic environments, landscapes strewn with the energy and traces of his body, desires, and emotions. The paint, like blood or other bodily fluid, fountains in all directions conveying Rocha’s sense of ecstasy.

SAMUEL HINDOLO – EUROSTAR
2024-09-30One painting is based on Saïda A Enlevé Manneken-Pis, a seven minute 1913 silent comedy about a leopard that escapes a fairgrounds in Brussels. She soon upends city order. In the titular scene, she knocks down the city’s infamous pissing statue before city officials chase her.
The painting readapts the chase. In one corner is a uniformed figure straddling a flashy yellow-pinkish car while being trailed by Saïda. The scene of the vehicle with its contorted flattened figure is a stark contrast to that of the leopard who shimmers mid gallop at the other end of the image. She is faint and incomplete; her spotty rosettes fading into the body, front legs losing definition. What seems like a vanishing act is not so much a disappearance as
it is her melding with the ground.
Like a moving image, the two scenes form a predicament. The characters are traveling quickly, both towards and
away from each other on a velodrome course brushed in pearly streaks; ostensibly a loop continuing somewhere
outside the frame.

SHIRAZEH HOUSHIARY – THE SOUND OF ONE HAND
2024-09-30For her first solo show in Los Angeles for over a decade, the British artist Shirazeh Houshiary presents new and recent works, exploring the origins of life and the mysteries of the cosmos, from a microscopic cellular level, to the stratospheric phenomenon of the aurora borealis. The show’s title relates to a Zen Buddhist teaching that instructs the student to listen to the sound of one hand clapping, in order to open their mind to such a possibility and transcend the constraints of the physical body. Despite not being a Zen practitioner, Houshiary realised that her work revolves around the insistent sound made by one of her hands, making tiny, looping, scratched marks in pencil onto large aluminum surfaces, building up worlds through the silence of her inscribed words.

TITUS KAPHAR – EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS
2024-09-30The semi-autobiographical Exhibiting Forgiveness stars André Holland as Tarrell Rodin, an accomplished painter whose life is upended by an unexpected reunion with his father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), a recovering addict who hopes to rebuild a relationship with his estranged son. Tarrell, now an active and loving father and husband, is skeptical despite the encouragement of his mother. Written and directed by Kaphar, Exhibiting Forgiveness follows his documentary shorts Shut Up and Paint (2022, shortlisted in the Documentary Short Film category of the 95th Academy Awards) and The Jerome Project (2016)—the latter of which was inspired by a painting series initiated in 2014 exploring the artist’s relationship with his own estranged father. Exhibiting Forgiveness is a direct, though fictionalized, extension of The Jerome Project.
