PARALLEL 202 | 202 Conover St, Red Hook, BK

Entrance is pleased to present a group exhibition of 6 artists from the New York Studio School, curated by Nora Cohen.

It’s assumed here that the task of reality acceptance is never complete. The effort it takes to relate inner and outer is considerable, but lessens in fields of experience where the distinction isn’t challenged. Painting must be like that, because looking at paintings can be, and that’s fun. It can be funny, too, and some of the paintings on view at 202 Conover are funny, or they seem possessed of a funny voice, like a story has a voice, or a voice in a dream.

Dreamed or written, stories depend on real life for content—your professor, a house party, the smell of rotting fruit—and for form. Real life: a self-filling, self-emptying procession of affections, hierarchies, institutions, social rituals, situations, and references. If you were to make a list of everything you’ve ever seen, it would include every painting, yes, and every reproduction: John Biglin in a Single Scull in a paint spattered catalogue on the floor of Daniel’s studio, Still Life with Game on the screen of Nora’s phone.

The line that divides images made “from life” from the synthetic image, that is, a composition of real and invented elements——————that line is of interest, too, as are its gaps. In them, you can do a confusion of inner and outer, me and not-me, a confusion that makes the not-me real, realisable. Beyond that, it produces a state in which me-not-me can combine. Umwelt is the small part of an animal’s environment it's able to perceive at any given time. Um, well… Some things are found during the process, some things were there all along.
