“Example Geometry no.6” a new public work by Tom Bandage

“Example Geometry no.6” is a continuation of Tom Bandage’s numbered series of flat-packable, mechanically-fastened works that attempt to produce novel architectural volumes via minimal material intervention. Tilting manufacturing praxis into artistic concept, the space implied by the aluminum boundary is accentuated by the production of an illusory interior/exterior threshold, producing an architecture rather than a bare volume. In this single form, there is an inside and an outside that are always already present. There is no way to perceive the implied volume without creating the divide - one implies the other. The perceived interior, partially occluded by the exterior, is in flux depending on the position of the viewer, as its shadow. The interior faces have a retroreflective coating that further enhances the spectacle of introspection, leveraging naturally occurring light to not only accentuate the divide between inside and outside, but to challenge the ability for the inside to isolate itself from its exterior conditions.

Join us for a free Gallery Talk with Mathieu JN Baptiste on Thursday, December 7, 2023 from 7-8pm.

Dyaspora is an exhibition that examines Caribbean influences on North American culture. Mathieu examines how exploitation and censorship of Caribbean politics impacts Caribbean nations and culture. Dyaspora challenges the viewer to reimagine what achieving the American dream looks like aesthetically, financially, spiritually and emotionally as a first generation immigrant in the United States of America.

These abstract paintings, with their specific color combinations and biomorphic compositions, offer viewers a contemplative space for reflection and inspiration. Gorski’s early engagements with minimalism, color field, and hard-edge movements as they developed in the United States mark a critical period in 20th century art, and illustrate the journey of artistic experimentation and investigation that he pursued throughout his entire career. His work from this mid 1960s period was selected by the curator Kynaston McShine for inclusion in the groundbreaking exhibition Primary Structures at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1966. Alongside artists such as Larry Bell, Judy Chicago, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Walter de Maria, Gorski was featured in that historic exhibition which is widely considered to be the first to spotlight artists working in a minimalist mode, with a focus on essential forms, geometries, and planes of color. The new exhibition at The Jung Center will feature works by Dan Gorski from this important period in the 1960s and spotlight a remarkable chapter in the history of an artist who lived and worked in Houston for a large part of his career. Artist bio: Dan Gorski was born in 1939 in Cleveland and studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art before attending the prestigious Yale Norfolk Summer School, completing his MFA at Yale in 1964. While at Yale, professors such as Al Held and Jack Tworkov significantly impacted his practice in a tightly-knit milieu of fellow classmates including Chuck Close, Nancy Graves, Robert Mangold, and Richard Serra. Gorski made his debut in the landmark group exhibition Primary Structures at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1966. Gorksi combined his active studio practice with a long-standing commitment to teaching, including at Ithaca College in the late 1960s. He led the painting department at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore from 1971 to 1990. Gorski relocated to Houston to direct the Glassell School at Museum of Fine Arts Houston in 1990, retiring in 1996, and dedicating his attention to working in the studio until his death in 2017. Centering the processes of inquiry and self-discovery, Gorski summed up his years of artistic practice in the following way: “I would always change again and again, realizing that the change was an obligation to myself.” https://dangorski.org" ["post_title"]=> string(46) "Primary Colors: Dan Gorski Paintings, 1962-65" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "publish" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(43) "primary-colors-dan-gorski-paintings-1962-65" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2023-09-08 03:28:43" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2023-09-08 03:28:43" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> int(0) ["guid"]=> string(54) "https://junghouston.org/?post_type=exhibit&p=3747" ["menu_order"]=> int(0) ["post_type"]=> string(7) "exhibit" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(0) "" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["filter"]=> string(3) "raw" } [3]=> object(WP_Post)#3511 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(3808) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "6" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2023-10-18 17:50:18" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2023-10-18 17:50:18" ["post_content"]=> string(461) "

Motus Anima is an exploration of emotional responses to moments and memories influenced by my experience as a neurodivergent person. Through their conception, I create tangible objects to dissect and reflect on in an attempt to accept my unresolved identity.

Selected photographs from three bodies of my work emphasize “alternative” photographic processes: Tongues Turned to Stone (photogravure on gamphi-shi paper), Sanctuary (palladium on translucent vellum), and Long, Long Journey to the Sea (gold-toned albumen). I choose these historical printing processes to evoke the timelessness of my content and my interpretive rather than documentary intent. In comparison, a fourth body of work, Watercourse Way (large digital prints on metallic paper) is a contemporary alternative to the hand-made nature of historical processes.

I create images in order to transform the “reality” seen through the camera lens into an expression of the oneness and wonder found in Taoist/Buddhist philosophy. These photographs are meditations on the constant and inevitable change in nature. The flow of water is one object of this contemplation. The flow of water and the human journey have parallels. According to Eastern philosophy, mankind’s resistance to transformation leads to suffering. Natural symbols are ancient and instinctive. According to the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, they are archetypes embedded in the “collective unconscious” and do not originate in personal experiences. A classic example is the “sanctuary” archetype, an enduring need. Archetypes exist in a deep well of the unknown that is best expressed through symbol rather than rational thinking. They are revealed by excavating hidden psychological layers rather than by reasoning. To quote Jung: “No genius has ever sat down with a pen or a brush in his hand and said—I will now invent a symbol.” Symbol, an image that stands for something more than it denotes, is like metaphor in that it transfers meaning from one thing to another. Symbolic images are often physical objects that stand in for abstract meaning. Some of my images and their associated metaphors are: • flowing water — life’s journey • swamp — decay, mystery • ice, crystals — transformation • clouds — threat, change • ancient theatre — mystery, ritual • ruins — loss • medieval interiors — sanctuary, refuge • bridges — union, change, hope The dual nature of the pairs explores Nature/Culture interactions.
