Summary:
The rising Copenhagen painter Tal R, born in Israel and represented in New York by Zach Feuer Gallery and in Berlin by Contemporary Fine Arts, here presents new works composed in a palette limited to unmixed brown, red, orange, white, pink, yellow and green. Tal R's painting is fundamentally borne up by a collage principle where the narrative is increasingly subsumed in certain abstract ground rules. With splashing brush and slapdash layering, he paints gleefully in impossible materials, with undisguised clashes and references in the content. This monographic exhibition catalogue says something with painting, not about painting. The design is perfect.

Referencing pornography and other popular vehicles directed at a heterosexual male audience, Amer's embroidery-based work contrasts traditional female handicraft with mainstream popular culture. Going even further, several pictorial works refer to well-known artists such as Ingres and Picasso. Taking works from the canon as her starting point, the artist observes the idealizing narrative construction of Western art history, indulging in a conventional presentation of an image of women that satisfies a voyeuristic gaze.

In a sequential narrative punctuated by contrasting moments of violence and beauty, Jude follows the rambling journey of a fur trapper, methodically checking his trap line in a remote area of Idaho in the Western United States. Through converging pictures of landscapes, architecture, an encroaching resort community, and the solitary, secretive process of trapping pine marten for their pelts, Lick Creek Line underscores the murky and culturally arbitrary nature of moral critique.

The first is words, a poem by Hiroshi Osada, the second is formed through pen drawings by Yoshie Watanabe and the third consists of physical objects, the simple jewellery crafted by Etsuko Sonobe.

Colour and shape play important roles, as the childlike drawings and jewellery pieces reflect both each other and the poem itself.

The clown undertakes an auto-autopsy hoping to find his organ of existence. The robot, like Descartes, needs to prove that he actually exists.
