I curated a group show titled “Angel of History” for the Schneider Museum that includes the work of Bob Thompson, Henri Matisse, Cheryl Donegan, Lauren Luloff, Kamrooz Aram, Julia Rommel and John Zurier. The title is a reference to the Walter Benjamin essay written while fleeing intense persecution. In the catalog essay I state, “painting still has equally as much
to say about its materialist possibilities. There are painters concerned with the staging of the
domestic, examining support and surface, others preoccupied with ornamentation and structure,
and still more demonstrating that painterly touch, incident and intention can reveal much about
our subjectivity in the face of mass culture. In the wreckage of history, of politics, of ideology;
painting’s materiality remains a necessary good.” @schneidermoa@kamroozegar@cheryldonegan@laurenluloff@unclejulia #johnzurier
Thanks for everyone who came out to the opening of “Modern Language” at the Schneider Museum. This is my first solo museum exhibition and it spans the last six years of my work. The show is accompanied by a full color catalog with an essay written by Elizabeth Buhe. Big thanks to @scottmalbaurn@schneidermoa@elizabethbuhe
