22:42 NEW WORK BY MATTHEW DAY JACKSON | |
Artist
Matthew Day Jackson is a modern day American frontiersman. His
interdisciplinary practice is in an all-consuming campaign to chart the
outermost limits of human physical experience and to locate the place
just beyond those limits where the sublime might reside. Working with a
set of signature themes that range from space exploration and war
machinery to advanced anatomy, he uses both traditional craft techniques
and cutting edge computer mapping to make art that exposes the layered
and often dark relationships between technology's abstractions and the
palpable effects of time. For Jackson, the measurable and the
inexplicable, power and sacrifice, mortality and the infinite are all
part of a realm he has dubbed 'the Horriful', where everything we do has
the potential to create both horror and beauty. 'The unobtainable
distance, no matter how small, is an infinity,' Jackson has said.
'Artists go to that space. It is a space where others cannot or do not
want to go, a space which is real and often dangerous, and they report
back from there'.
Beginning 6 September 2013, Hauser & Wirth New York will present 'Something Ancient, Something New, Something Stolen, Something Blue',
an exhibition devoted to Matthew Day Jackson's latest explorations.
Comprising major new paintings, sculptures, and installations, the
exhibition will be on view through 19 October at the gallery's downtown
venue at 511 West 18th Street.
Alongside
'Something Ancient, Something New, Something Stolen, Something Blue',
videos from Jackson's 'In Search of.....' series will be screened in the
Roth Bar at the 18th Street gallery every Saturday for the duration of
the exhibition.  by Andrea Schwan | |
