A cinematic masterpiece of a painting! everal rooms, each of which consists of an abstract, form-bound building: the color, patterned fabric, and construction-grade paint work of living and dying, lifeless and living alike, were displayed. Within these well-defined details of architectural space, the line of least resistance, the relationship of highest points to lowest, and of general units to individual objects, the planes of reality were laid bare. The drawings and collages of the paints and glazes, in the vast, large, and small-format pieces, referred to the artists vast studio in La Jolla. The stacks of books and magazines, the erasure of images, the scratched images of surfaces, and the fastidiously applied paints, all led to a feeling of bewilderment. This was the time of the millennium, one without new technologies, and the new, in the sense that the art of the twentieth century was different from that of the previous century, and the new art was life itself. Hence, if the art of the twentieth century was made by machines, the new art was made by people, who were also machines.This situation of emptiness, of the old, the new, and the past, was an inspiration for this exhibition. In the last work of the century, Francis Bacon wrote, Machines were the same as the original human being, the same as the subject of his paintings. In this exhibition, all the works had the appearance of being made by human hands. Each had a visceral presence, a nostalgic, even passionate, quality, but one which remained close to the heart of things, and embodied the instinct that lived and worked with the modern world. This was the spirit of Michelangelo, and the spirit of modernity itself, a spirit that concentrated on the human body, and on the painters and sculptors who made it, as well as on the destruction of it.These paintings were the best that the artist had to offer in the show.

A cinematic masterpiece of a painting! dimensional viewer is a first-generation Technicolor-Sigmätzer, a young artist working in a laboratory whose traditional work methods consist of lab-like structures. The work of this group, which was introduced to the world in 1965 by the late John Cage, is based on the idea of an electrically charged plasma plate suspended from the ceiling above a compact assemblage of materials—a glass ceramic vitrine, a Plexiglas matrix, and a silicone sheet—that they create by treating cast lead to produce the high-pressure, mirrorlike surface of the panes. After being agitated by the same materials, they make the hard, mineral-rich metal surfaces visible by scraping them off with a malleable, flexible piece of industrial contact cement. This process yields an extremely durable, ultra-flexible, and durable-looking object—the most remarkable thing about it is the strong physical presence it has on the walls of the room where it is installed.While, in theory, most of the artists working methods are programmed to produce a thin, dark, pale, not-quite-matured surface, the continuous action of the hand is the major influence. Inside the room, the hand gestures that trigger the process and that often produce images that defy the laws of form or dimension become the subject of the work. The hand is no longer a purely visceral organ. It is a medium that, like paint or wood, both in physical properties and in appearance, is both object and presence. Intricately painted, transparent, transparent, like a natural phenomenon, the works in the show are made with the same materials: lead, graphite, and cast lead, and are indestructible. In this way, they can be studied or seen, and the simple, homogeneous surfaces (wood, copper, cast lead, wax, Plexiglas, etc.

A cinematic masterpiece of a painting! withdramatic, melodramatic, tenderly flirting with melodramatic and grotesquely sentimental.This exhibition consisted of a group of pencil drawings, all dated 1956, that attempt to demonstrate the miraculous transformation that an eyeglass wearer can achieve by means of a combination of buffing, rolling and piercing with a toothpick. The five series that make up the exhibition, Untitled, all from 1956, are derived from the famous optical phenomenon known as the nose-to-the-eyes illusion. The eyeballs of the artist and his or her assistant roll in circles with a toothpick—not a figure drawn, but a small plastic sign placed on the floor—as if in the process of eyesight, though the work does not actually show this miraculous phenomenon. A seemingly daily occurrence, the mask-like effect of the nose-to-the-eyes illusion must be approached with a certain detachment. The characters are simply there to be rolled around and painted, and they stand in for a certain imaginary person. It is precisely this that gives the work its title.The nose-to-the-eyes illusion was invented by Dr. Arshile Gorky and was first used by the German physicist, chemist and inventor of the physiopodern synthesis of doped air. His lab experiments and later experiments with the materials, such as his discovery of the super-absorbent diamond and the super-absorbent foam, both of which he developed in the 1950s, show that doped air can be created through the combination of rolling and peeling with a toothpick.The nose-to-the-eyes illusion, then, is not about creating the illusion that an object or object of a kind can be conjured up by rolling in circles with a toothpick. The illusion is not about creating a phantom existence for an imaginary person—that imaginary person is always there to be rolled around in circles with a toothpick.

Visible only from a few hundred yards away, the bright, vivid, white American flag in the foreground is juxtaposed with a dark-gray background that is lightly dusted and streaked with splotches of red and brown paint. The central panel depicts the United States (sans San Francisco, complete with flag) and the background a forest of distant trees in an otherwise blank blue sky. The painting is titled after a nineteenth-century painting by Joseph Cornell, one of the most influential painters of his day. Its been reworked as a fly-on-the-wall video installation by the artist Joan Jonas, which was shown in the late 90s at the shows main venue, Sculpture/Object, a show organized by curator and artist Bill Nicks. The shows multiple subject matter included almost everything from American social history to queer politics, and a related party, too.For the occasion, the exhibitions organizer, Linda Quenzler, presented two brief video clips. The first, from 2003, depicts a scene from the 1980 Israeli occupation of West Bank settlements, which follows the emigration of refugees from the Middle East to the West Bank. The second, from 2009, features footage of a parade in San Francisco marking the day after the 2001 terrorist attack on the city, where thousands took to the streets to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the war. After the opening of the exhibition, attendees were invited to leave their messages on the wall and leave a copy of the exhibition in their pockets. Quenzler chose the same format for the panels to be displayed in the gallerys back room. The paintings on the wall were made using the same stenciled paint as the video. The images from the video were removed and painted in granular swirls and swooshes on a white ground.

A cinematic masterpiece of a painting! matical charting, 2010, is a grid of 28 grids painted in black or white to match the grid of the high-frequency speakers in the paintings. The black grid shows a black-and-white grid, from which a crosshair is drawn, while the white grid shows the same type of cross-hatching. The grey-green grid, from which the blue grid is drawn, shows a black cross, while the grey grid is described by a blue line. The lines are further broken down, as in a color-coded, proportional arrangement of pixels. There is no visual correlation between the black grid and the white grid. The grid can be read as a way to represent real time, so that it can be used to store information and to hold the paint of the paintings together. The grid has a spatial quality that is not to be found in the paintings, but is reflected in the heavy, handheld colors of the paint and the organic light and air that it creates. The grid gives the paintings their title, analogue, and function as a symbol for the paintings meaning and meaninglessness. The grid is a boundary, a sign that distinguishes the paintings, a kind of boundary, a control that disallows the paintings from expanding outward to the visual realm. The grid is a barrier, a barrier, a visual barrier. The grid is a boundary, a way of telling the paintings apart from one another. These are visual and physical barriers that prevent the paintings from expanding outward to the visual realm. The grid, which is a control, is a zone, an area of control. Some of the paintings are carved or collaged into squares or circles, like a human skull or a crumpled paper airplane. The grids represent the areas of vision. This is where the art objects are. All the paintings are painted on canvas, and all the paintings have the same color: a muted, earthy black.
