CHRISTINA QUARLES AT THE GEFFEN CONTEMPORARY

Leave a reply

Christina Quarles makes expressive, gestural works that reference the history and techniques of painting, but also smartly test its limits. Her dynamic compositions often feature feminine tropes that reference domestic space—fabrics, patterns—alongside polymorphous and ambiguous figures arranged in contorted positions. Playing with the identity of the figure to expand the potential for representation in her work, Quarles explores the genre of figurative art as it has been captured in THE FOUNDATION OF THE MUSEUM—MOCA’S COLLECTION by Paul Mpagi Sepuya.*

ALEX HUBBARD — THE CORNER OF THE TABLE

The videos involve a long, slow process, hunched in front of the computer… The paintings, when they started, were about changing gears in the studio and working quickly… With most if not all of the materials I use, there is no going back. With the plastics, the urethanes, and the resins, once they are mixed, the clock is ticking. The slower I am to start, the less time I have to work with them. — Alex Hubbard*

THE CORNER OF THE TABLE—Hubbard’s solo show at Regen Projects—includes his new multimedia works on linen and cotton as well as two handmade projectors streaming animated videos.
