Featuring nearly one hundred drawings spanning the artist’s career to date, the exhibition will include Barney’s earliest drawings made in the late 1980s, drawings created in conjunction with the Cremaster film cycle (1994–2002), and those related to his current project River of Fundament.
Also on view will be a selection of Barney’s storyboards for his films and videos, composed of sketches, photographs, clippings, and books, used to map out the narrative structure of his projects. For the exhibition, the artist has selected items from the Morgan’s collections to display as part of his storyboards, underscoring the importance literature and mythology play in the elaboration of his stories.
Subliming Vessel will also mark the creation of a new Drawing Restraint performance, the twentieth in this ongoing series that examines the relationship between self-imposed resistance and creativity.
Exhibition runs through to September 2nd, 2013

This exhibition, which features five new works, centres around ‘Mogamma: A Painting in Four Parts’, the collective name for four monumental canvases that were recently included in dOCUMENTA (13). The ‘Mogamma’ works, which were completed in 2012 shortly after the time of the Arab Spring revolutions, have evolved out of Mehretu’s investigations into how architecture and geographical space, particularly within urban centres, become sites for political and mythological projection. ‘I think architecture reflects the machinations of politics, and that’s why I am interested in it as a metaphor for those institutions. I don’t think of architectural language as just a metaphor about space, but about spaces of power, about ideas of power’, Mehretu explains.
The title of these works relates to ‘Al-Mogamma’, the name of the all purpose government building in Tahrir Square, Cairo which was both instrumental in the 2011 revolution and architecturally symptomatic of Egypt’s post-colonial past. The word ‘Mogamma’, however, means ‘collective’ in Arabic and historically, has been used to refer to a place that shares a mosque, a synagogue and a church and is a place of multi faith.
In the ‘Mogamma’ paintings, Mehretu has overlaid hundreds of images taken from different squares around the globe – symbolically weighted urban centres that have become nexus points for upheaval and revolution – and combined them with single blocks, lines and arcs of bold acrylic colour. The works, which contain a complex web of mark making and visual narrative, point to a reading of the built environment in our post-colonial condition, where the language and motifs of architecture always contain the metaphors for its own entropy and the fractured history of past conflict.

The exhibition title is a nod to Matisse’s well-known 1905 portrait of the artist’s wife and is visually referenced in several of Gordon’s works including large scale still lifes and portraits, along with a selection of smaller works operating as isolated studies. In conjunction with the exhibition.
In Gordon’s practice, the artist culls photographic images from the Internet, prints them out and uses them to build three-dimensional tableaus. He then photographs these tableaus with an 8 x 10 inch view camera. Afterward, the sculptures are dismantled, though their various elements body parts, colors, background patterns—are often reused to make new works.
Gordon’s melding together of fragmented parts form a dislocated reality where different perspectives, profiles and people merge into an incongruous whole. Through the process of slicing, cutting, gluing, staging, arranging and recycling, Gordon executes a shift from digital to analogue, almost as though he were engaged in a physical form of Photoshop and challenges the stability of the fixed image, opening up the possibility for new meanings to emerge. This unique handling of the photographic medium connects Gordon with the history of collage and painting. In these works red, yellow and blue dominate in bold blocks. Visibly torn edges, gobs of glue and raw, recycled scraps fuse and separate before our eyes, wavering between completion and dissolution.
