Wanda Koop: HeartBeat Bots | Michelle Rawlings: In The Garden

Night Gallery ✨

2276 East 16th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90021

Oct 03, 11 AM - 6 PM — ends Nov 07, 2020

OPEN BY APPOINTMENT AND ONLINE STARTING OCTOBER 3, 2020

Night Gallery is pleased to announce HeartBeat Bots, an exhibition of paintings by Wanda Koop. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition at Night Gallery.

An ongoing series dating back to the mid-80s but exhibited for the first time, HeartBeat Bots reveals Koop’s fascination with robotics and the post-human condition. The exhibition is anchored by a suite of canvases depicting robotic subjects, anthropomorphic in appearance and situated within the conventions of portrait painting. All of the paintings were made in the artist’s Riding Mountain studio, a remote setting some 130 miles Northwest of her home in Winnipeg, Canada. Koop’s palette—fluid strokes of neon pink and orange; vibrating fields of blue—breathes life into her near-human robots. Loosely contained assemblages of marks and color fields, these figures also conjure topography, their surfaces resembling landscapes of a planet that is neither alien nor familiar. Koop paints the human into machine and landscape alike.

This fluidity is central to HeartBeat Bots, where Koop has filled the gallery with fragments of the terrestrial. The procession of mechanized portrait sitters is threaded through with images of veiny trees, spider webs, and a full moon pulsating above a reflective lake. Other works appear stripped of representational content, such as Breaking News (Colour Bar), a massive colour field painting composed of a luminous yellow ground resting above a strip of eight vertical bars. Parallel drips descend from the top of the canvas, cinching and swelling to resemble massive teardrops. Physical expressions of emotion, which the artist describes as “cutting the surface,” extends to a body of paintings recently exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art: eight monumental landscapes (two of which are included in HeartBeat Bots), similarly punctured by pairs of falling “tears,” project an affective dimension of human psychology onto thinking machines. Just as robots are created by humans to fulfil a purpose, of her paintings Koop says: “I’m making something that is highly useful in a psychological way… that we see ourselves in it.”

While viewers seek the familiar in these near-human forms, Koop, meanwhile, smuggles in forms of seeing that lie beyond our senses. The exhibition includes one painting, Heartbeat Bot (Bleu), based on the symbol for facial recognition. “It doesn’t look like it, but it’s there,” she asserts, in a subtle allusion to how AI’s pattern recognition surpasses ours. For many years now, the artist has considered the contingency of vision, as well as the effects of insensible energy, in works that register “all that we can’t see and that we can’t feel, trying to paint the unknown.” By making her brush vibrate, Koop creates lines that dissipate and dissolve, suggesting a force that moves through each individual canvas. “This happens in the reflection of water, sound waves… it’s in the lines we see in stock market graphs, it’s everywhere but we don’t really see it, yet we’re affected by it.”

Over four decades, Koop has translated observation into poetic visual articulation. Reflecting on a socially-isolated present, Koop recently came to the realization that nearly all of her work to date constitutes a practice of painting portraits of uncertainty: of the past, future and the present. “Like the landscapes,” Koop explains, “these are portraits of the everyperson: this construct of mask stripped bare, like an archetype of now.” Here, Koop deploys colour and mark making to conjure forces of energy, fusing representation and abstraction, seen and unseen, and emotional and artificial intelligences.


--------------------------------------
Night Gallery is pleased to present In the Garden, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Michelle Rawlings.

Rawlings’ newest paintings are taken from photographs from the runway show for Virginie Viard’s Spring 2020 haute couture collection for Chanel, held at the Grand Palais in January 2020. Reveling in the collection’s overt homage to French Impressionist painters, Rawlings reinvents these contemporary photographs in the manner of the 19th-century works that inspired them, as if restoring this imagery to its place in history. The repeating framing of the close-cropped compositions, however, is distinctly informed by contemporary photography, as suggestive of Vogue magazine as the French salon.

Rawlings’ practice is not characterized by a signature style or a recurring subject; rather, each series assumes its own distinctive approach, responding to the dictates of genre and the artist’s personal attachments to her subjects. Taken altogether, Rawlings’ disparate works evoke the incoherent stream of images that populate our daily experiences, hearkening in equal parts to the space of the museum and to the digital mood board, paying equal reverence to both. Rawlings embraces the terms of each new project without irony, finding authenticity in the dispensation of style and offering the suggestion of a holistic worldview. The works speak to our ability to live vicariously through images. An exploration of the feminine psyche and the theme of coming of age are touchstones of the artist’s body of work, though they are taken up anew within each series, without a singular vocabulary.

There is a deadpan quality to Rawlings’ work, which invites and rejects analysis simultaneously. The paintings elide the commentary that is expected of them within a contemporary gallery context, bringing the viewer back to an experience of perceptual transcendence. They ask to be experienced like couture, testaments to the handmade and its ability to capture the imagination.

STONE ISLAND: STORIA

https://www.stoneisland.co.uk/pages/stone-island-storia

Since its inception in 1982, Stone Island has acquired a worldwide cult following for its cutting edge outerwear. Neither fashion, nor luxury, nor streetwear, Stone Island has combined the elements of all three into a unique mix that has resonated with the Milanese paninari, the British football diehards, and the North American hip-hop fans alike.

In the world where brands latch on to culture, through its almost four-decade existence Stone Island influenced it. At the center of Stone Island's success lies its relentless pursuit of excellence in design, and uncompromising spirit of experimentation with fabric treatment and dyeing techniques. This product-oriented stance has secured the brand's unique place outside of fashion's hierarchy.

This monograph captures the story of Stone Island, combining its history and ethos into one source. With never-before-seen images and three major texts, it is intended for both diehard fans of the brand and those who have recently approached the world of Stone Island.

With introduction by Carlo Rivetti and foreword by Angelo Flaccavento. Texts by Eugene Rabkin with contributions by Paul Gorman and Jian DeLeon. Creative Director: Simon Foxton/& Son. Published by Rizzoli New York. English text.

The hard cover edition is available in selected Rizzoli stockists. A special cover with slipcase and a poster depicting the history of iconic Stone Island badges is exclusively available at Stone Island stores and websites.
