Mosss paintings, which are, in the tradition of the American artist, almost purely abstract, were essentially figural. They were like soft sculptures, with the figure in a variety of shapes and orientations. The figures were usually made of fiberglass or resin, and the surfaces were often adorned with a variety of objects—a metal rod, a metal bar, a wire, and so on. The colors were often vibrant, sometimes accompanied by a few hints of the lurid and the sinister. The surfaces were often dotted with small circular holes. This is what made them difficult to classify, for they were so fluid and open-ended. There was no obvious reference to a specific place or time, and the figures seemed to move freely.The works in this show were done in the past few years and, as a result, they were somewhat more abstract than the earlier paintings. In this respect, they were more concrete, but also more mysterious. The figure has been reduced to a mere outline, and the edges of the forms are almost completely covered with a layer of black wax. This is a kind of drawing, a drawing that is very much like a sculpture. The black surface is almost blacker than the black background, which is a color that lends a richness of feeling to the work.The black surface of the figures is a kind of mask, and it is a mask that the figure is trying to maintain as a solid black, rather than one that is just black and white. The black surface, like the wax, has a kind of transparency, and it creates an illusion of depth and a sense of solidity. It is a material that is at once translucent and opaque, and a mask.The black surface is also the surface on which the figures are painted.

This is what happened in the work of the young Swiss artist Lisette Model, who, at the age of nineteen, in Paris in the early 60s, entered the public eye. This exhibition, entitled La nuit, 1994–95, was the first major retrospective of the artists work in France.The exhibition consisted of Model's drawings, sculptures, photographs, and installations. In the exhibition catalogue, Karl Wirsum quotes Model as saying, I am fascinated by the possibilities of the mundane. . . . a single object which has an exceptional effect. . . . an unexpected presence, a strange presence. In the exhibition, the most famous works were those that Model made during her stay in Paris between July and September of 1995. This was the period of the economic crisis, the most difficult period in the history of the European Union, and the most difficult for many in Switzerland, where the government has yet to come to terms with the crisis. The crisis has created a huge gap between rich and poor, and has caused many Swiss artists to leave the country, which has become a hot spot for artistic production. The crisis has also affected the art scene in Germany, where Model was born, and it has caused a great deal of confusion and confusion, too. This exhibition was a necessary step in clarifying the position of models in Switzerland, a position that can hardly be called positive. Models participation in the economy has made her an easy target for criticism, and it is not only because she is an artist but also because she is a woman. Models participation in the economy has also made her a target for criticism. She is also a woman, and it is therefore not surprising that her work has been misunderstood and that it has been misinterpreted.

Juan Dominguezs video Buroreca (Pig), 2008, was a study in contrasts: on one hand a study of the body, the human body, and the practices of art; on the other, of the body, the art world, and the art world. In the montage-style video, the artist shows us a pig, but in the second and third videos, the pig disappears into the background. In one image, the pig stands, with its tail tied up, in a field; in another, it stands, with its tail still tied up, as if it were a corpse. The animal is frozen in a position of aggression, a dead-end position, an empty cage, a dead animal. But in the fourth video, the pig, with its tail still tied up, stands in front of a mirror, its mouth agape in a grotesque, angry, cuckoo-choo-choo-choo-choo. The video ends with the artist pouring himself a drink and throwing it into the mirror.The video is a meditation on the image, on the mirror as image. The pig is a picture of the body, the body as image. And the body is an image of the body, the body as image. The pig is an image of the body as an image. The question of the body is a question of the body as image.The pig is a figure in the body, but also a figure in the world, a world made up of two opposing worlds, the real and the image. The body is an image, but it is also a world, and a world made up of two opposing worlds: the real world and the image world.

The selection of work by these artists, although not exhaustive, is suggestive, and offers a fascinating insight into the development of the artists own sensibility. Many of the works in the first section are direct and striking, and the selection of the most recent, the last, is rather disappointing. The most recent works, for instance, have no titles, so it is difficult to make any comments about the quality of their execution. Also, the fact that many of the pieces are the same seems to suggest that, in most cases, the work is not as good as it could be, and that the works of a few more artists would have made the exhibition more interesting. It is as if the young artists who have shown at the gallery so far have not yet developed any of the qualities of the mature artist.

For the past several years, Ruscha has been creating paintings that engage with the idea of painting in the age of digital reproduction. His paintings are all based on photographs taken from magazine advertisements and are intended to be looked at while standing. This can be seen as a very casual, recreational, and accessible approach to painting, but Ruscha also uses his paintings as social critiques, and he has made the works in this show (all works 2000) the perfect place to meet the public gaze. The paintings were hung on the walls in a manner that emphasized the natural light that emanated from the windows. The paintings were also hung on the wall of the gallery, with the exception of one piece that was too small for the wall and was allowed to be hung on a neighboring wall. The paintings were the perfect place to look at, to read, to talk, to listen to, to look at, and to be.In the end, Ruscha has succeeded in creating a new kind of painting, one that is both the product of the moment and an extension of it. By painting on an actual, working surface, he has managed to create a new medium that is both the invention and the expression of a specific moment in time.
