Pig Latin in Quicksand
Clima Pig Latin in Quicksand Sam Anderson, Justin Caguiat, Craig Kalpakjian, Dani Leder, Kate Levant, Vijay Masharani, Tarwuk curated by Andrew Ross and Clima OPENING RECEPTION June, 6th 2019 06.06.2019 – 31.07.2019 Text by Andrew Ross This exhibition originally sought to introduce disparately acquainted artists and their contemporaries living in New York City. I tried to avoid falling into the trap of similarity as a curatorial drive, as I feel that it does not ontologically lead to meaning or visceral responses. During the period of time meeting and discussing work with the artists I discovered that what I was after were structural objects that elicit emotional responses; re-worked with evidence of erasure, dealing with repetition and grids, and figures emerging out of dust. There are notational gestures in each work that suggest coded messaging that the artists are de- veloping, punctuated by the appearance of archetypal forms; usually faces, figures, writing and architectural elements. It is as though the works are a flurry of notions, which are then reigned in by imagery. So unlike the title might suggest, the quicksand isn’t the tornado of marks from which the figure emerges, but the plot device that allows the rest to settle. This is the typical function of quicksand in movies. It is an obstacle to serve as an emblematic vignette of a larger narrative. It is through moments of figuration or familiarity that the grid can become tiles, and therefore a ground for us to place things upon. Sam Anderson (b. 1982, Los Angeles, CA) received an MFA in sculpture from Yale University. -
Artists' Choice: an Expanded Field of Photography
NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release April 8, 2015 Contact: Jodi Joseph Director of Communications 413.664.4481 x8113 [email protected] Artists’ Choice: An Expanded Field of Photography Liz Deschenes curates group exhibition featuring six artists with wide- ranging approaches to the field of photography North Adams, Massachusetts — In conjunction with her solo exhibition at MASS MoCA, Liz Deschenes curates a group exhibition featuring six artists whose work expands the field of photography. Dana Hoey, Miranda Lichtenstein, Craig Kalpakjian, Josh Tonsfeldt, Sara VanDerBeek, and Randy West will be represented by a combination of new and existing work (chosen, for the most part, by the artists themselves), which demonstrates the wide-ranging approaches to their art. Several of the featured artists make work that is considered photographic but is camera-less. For others, photography has laid the groundwork for the moving image or functions as a jumping-off point for sculptural investigations. With this small but diverse selection of artists, the exhibition provokes an open-ended dialogue Miranda Lichtenstein on the state of photography as an increasingly diversified Last Exit, 2015 medium that intersects and informs other fields of art Archival pigment print, 50 x 33.3 inches Courtesy of the artist and Elizabeth Dee, New York making. The exhibition opens with a reception on May 23, 2015. Though the artists were selected for their individual strengths without any thematic restraints, commonalities emerge when their works are considered as a group. Each artist offers a new perspective on the fundamental properties and processes of photography — be they formal, mechanical, or conceptual. -

Craig Kalpakjian's Secon
153 ½ Stanton Street New York, New York 10002 [email protected] +1 617 678 4440 www.kaimatsumiya.com Wed – Sun 12- 6 pm CRAIG KALPAKJIAN Solo exhibition October 17, 2020 – January 9, 2021 The two-day opening is scheduled for Saturday, October 17th (4-8pm) and Sunday, October 18th (4-8pm). Craig Kalpakjian’s second solo exhibition at Kai Matsumiya expands the artist’s most recently realized works engaging technologies of power, social control, and the abstraction of late capitalist systems, while effecting the transformation of space throughout the gallery. Kalpakjian’s latest repertoire of work over the last 3 years will be displayed. The square arguably composes the greatest demarcated articulation of space. Inside the square, established structure is easily understood. This structure, however, as a means of orientation, is voided when warped out of equilibrium, beyond its formal element into a space not properly square. Building on his work from his first solo show at the gallery, After Josef Albers, Kalpakjian debuts the L7 series, comprised of squares in crisis–forms which are “off”. While After Josef Albers replaced Albers’s revolutionary color studies with a palette of varying light temperatures available to users of architectural software, the title “L7” is a reference to 1960s slang for a person or situation considered “square,” or conventional and boring. When the squares are all “off”, the reflexive desire to correct them may follow. That desire to correct runs at the heart of all such works in the exhibition as they are confronted by forces of control and surveillance. Three L7 squares are physically matched in the trussed and wired sculpture resembling a sophisticatedly confused self-surveilling apparatus, Into the Corner. -
