Ilya & Emilia Kabakov: New Paintings at PACE



Veröffentlicht am 19.12.2015
James Klam often finds himself entering an impressive exhibition shortly before scheduled closing time. In such cases, he's desire to capture video and present the show to his international viewership, prevents him from spending the time it might take to study the press release and present a more concise critical response. "New Paintings" by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov is a selection of four groups of related works. The main body, of large scale paintings, "The Two Times" pares sections of torn Soviet propaganda photos with snippets of classic Renaissance masterpieces, creating a juxtaposed collage of different times and aesthetics. "Temporary Loss of Eye Sight" is a six painting suite in which quotidian views are overlaid with a field of grey dots, simulation the visual experience of macular degeneration. Views of two bodies of works on paper are included. This program was recorded December 10, 2015. A musical introduction is provided by Mecca Bodega.
