ikebana white bath mat red bath towel (all works 2007). Whose idea was this?What about life? Tadas movie is strikingly bleak and intimate. In the course of a one-hour-long monologue, a moving image of a woman taking a shower unfolds and a woman silently disappears. Then the camera returns to the woman, but she is no longer the woman, and the images are gone, and one encounters another photograph of a woman in the shower. A girl, apparently, appears in one of the water drains. The scene is interrupted by the sound of someone walking past and a girl not quite out of her bathrobe. The girl stops, but her walking is repeated, and she also disappears again. The cycle repeats.Tadas long-standing interest in anachronism—a condition in which objects and images are often constructed, and perhaps always assume the status of fakes—has been a guiding theme in his work for years. But the shows proper motion was a space, a place that allowed the artist to talk about the period of his birth, the world, and himself as a photographer, about the role of the narrator and his relationships with other people. One had the sense that Tada was enjoying himself just listening to the voice of the other and was finding himself within a theatre rather than an isolated studio. He is, by all means, a documentary filmmaker. But one rarely gets the feeling that the artist is telling a story.

boat sea water cable black vernacular-style tarpaulins and a pine cone with dry leaves. If youre not torn between the necessity of constructing these materials and the need to appreciate the rusted and rusted together, there are lots of ideas in the novel here. Theirs is a dry land.Coyles esthetic is modeled on the decoratively dysfunctional, and the elegance of the industrial. To the tarpaulins, which were made of walnut plywood, he adds the hefty web of felt, the cords that hang from the sides of the crate and the ropes that tangle the rows of black and white plywood into the crates black wood frame. He ends up with this seemingly grand, rebellious gesture: the tarpaulins create an idealized space that is difficult to take. The reason is that the crates are irregularly shaped—not the hollowness of the felt, but the irregularity of the space the strings and wood chains of the plywood weave through. The stringing is a regular, uninsulated public space, which becomes the sculpture when we notice that the cables are bundled into space; when we look at it we see that the strings are pulled taut over the back of the crate by a bundle of cords. This is a place to step, and it is a space of incarceration.Coyles points out how ritualized and entropic these materials are, and gives the evidence that he can easily translate the past into a thinking about the future. But he gets close to the construction of the future, by creating a timeless, mechanical form, and a future that is decided by the past. To be in the space of possibility is to become involved with the things and people of the past. What we choose to do is to make the present moment function as a step, an act of transition.

boat sea water cable black iced tea, the literal painting equivalent of a chandelier, and (ironically?) a giant drum that says STOP.SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP. This oddity is no accident; its intended as a sly comment on art as a substitute for life, and particularly on the pietà, its the man. Be part of it, or not. What is going on in the world now? Am I being manipulated by some alien force or am I part of it? Well, youll be in the world soon.The video This Day, This Place, We Are Facing Each Other is a sketchy scenario in which two people who have a conversation in French and English and two others who speak English, around a five-minute greeting in which one of the speakers is a woman who uses English as a foreign language to identify herself with the other. Nothing particularly important happens, but the plot is fascinating—also because of the carefully choreographed pacing, and because the characters movements, which are completely unexpected, are animated by a subtly trained foreign accent that serves to underscore the distance between the French and English speakers.In We Are Facing each other, all the figures are engaged in a kind of conversation with the space around them. What might be called a oneness—in which the speaker/acting translator shows the English language to the French, conveying a certain sense of freedom and intimacy, but at the same time implying the impossibility of real intercultural exchange. In the video, they are also all watching each other, talking about the inevitable and inevitable clash between two people, and the inevitable collision of two landscapes—that which signifies the essence of both of these languages, which cannot be understood without knowing each other. The video is the bridge between the mirrors, these two people reflect in each other, whose faces are hidden behind glass. And theres a fair bit of nonverbal communication among the figures, who speak with one another only via gestures and gestures.

boat sea water cable black iced tea, and a mock television, spliced together like a technical glitch, that dangled in the middle of a door frame. The images were so smooth, in fact, that the images seemed almost like prints of vernacular objects, painted with ease and ease; they looked as if they had been taken directly from the internet. This is not to suggest that these objects are anything like our own. Theyre not actually objects, though, but long wire, a point, or a paperclip. This work is a tool to be used as a bricoleur, a bricoleur to copy: to be laboriously painted, or else to be polished. The photos of the tools are made of those paperclips that are put in the end of a rope on the edge of a table, in a pair of jeans. The labor of painting those jeans is evident in the repeated practices of the bricoleur, as is evident in the labor of her apparent indifference to the still-altered images on a television screen. In general, the installation of painting/manifested labour in these images is a way of marking time. It constitutes a reminder of how necessary it is to confront everything weve just taken in.This is not a chronological body of work, however, but rather a body of paintings about labor, labor, and the media. To return to the genre of painting, there is a body of work here that deals with the representation of labor and of labor, and with the idea of labor as both active and neutral. In general, the techniques of the bricoleur are not new. She has used them for a long time. The artist also uses the current fashion for consumer products, for example plastic bags and plastic bags of plastic bags. Her works come across as self-consciously crafted objects, and they bring to mind, as Daniel Burens do, the own production of commodified signs.

urchin and a sizable clam shell, both of which cast their silhouettes on the art wall, along with numerous other materials, among them a cardboard cutout with prints of rivers and ocean waves and a plaster-overclay fragment bearing the words Martin Cangelias painting (it was later replaced by a larger work) by Louise Lawler (1973–77) and a small painting by John Ahearn (1939–2002). This subtle juxtaposition of works, seemingly unrelated, provided an almost impossible alibi for any contrition: the material that originally inspired the works finally seemed to be an innocent, if fleeting, blossom of an artistic career that never really seemed to end. These paintings take their title from their precise copying of three large-scale images—from a pinball machine, a movie poster, and an interior view of an airplane—that Ahearn painted around the Great American Nude, which can still be seen in an airport terminal. In the painting, a nude woman in a white suit sits next to an image of the pastel-hued toy airplane, which echoes the brightly painted mannequin above, its metallic face casting a strange shadow. Ahearns mannerism only seems to have gotten stronger as time went on, but now the purist can only wonder that the work still inspires the same awe as when it first appeared.
