ELLIOTT HUNDLEY WORKING ON PAPER BAIK ART SEOUL Installation of Working On Paper, Baik Art Seoul BAIK ART SEOUL is pleased to present Elliott Hundley’s first solo exhibition in Korea, Working On Paper, ,May 20 - June 19, 2021. Working on Paper is Elliott’s introduction to exhibiting in Asia and will be his first show focusing primarily on drawing works. For Elliott, these works portray a floating state of consciousness. Drawing allows him to recover lost stimuli and discover facts that he had been previously unaware of. These works contain personal stories reflecting the artist’s inner narrative. Drawing so far has been a one-on-one conversation with himself, so this exhibition allows him to take these conversations out into the world.

PRESS HIGHLIGHTS Installation view of Elliott Hundley Clearing at Regen Projects, Los Angeles May 17 - June 22, 2019 Photo: Evan Bedford, Courtesy Regen Projects, Los Angeles “Double Take: Elliott Hundley At Regen Projects and MOCA,” 2019, LA Weekly Astonishing collage-based mixed media paintings by Elliott Hundley cry out for in-person contemplation. While this is true of art in general, in the case of Hundley it is an absolute imperative. The furious proliferation of literally thousands of individual elements in each large-scale composition is impossible to fully appreciate in even a pageant of detail photographs, in large part because it is the magic that happens in the dance of physical proximity and distance which is so central to their aesthetic appeal. In a sense, they are like performances. It is impossible not to imagine the figure of the artist, and his scissors, blades, and push pins, in a durational exercise of gathering and harvesting on a massive and obsessive scale. On the other, despite the exceptionally analog processes by which they are created, the works speak directly to the quality of epic, unrelenting simultaneity that characterizes our modern, digital, visual culture. They are like storyboards of consciousness and cognition, oceans wherein you drift between clarity and current sweeps, buffered along the decentralized past of the mind, and the sudden clarity of the bodily present.

Photo by Zak Kelley. “Elliott Hundley Abandons Narrative,” 2019, Cultured Magazine [Elliott Hundley] has been selected as the first artist to participate in “Open House,” a series in which the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) invites artists to curate shows from the museum’s storied collection, once described by Vanity Fair’s Bob Colacello as “the most impressive permanent collection of contemporary art in the country.” “I thought a lot about dissonance in art,” says Hundley, “because that’s the kind of thing I can do that a curator can’t really.” He explains he prioritized aesthetic connections over historical or theoretical.
