CUE Art Foundation and Purchase College’s MFA Visual Arts Program Against Monoculture: Sreshta Rit Premnath on “The Artist as Editor” Lecture 4/7, 4-5:30pm

http://bit.ly/2ng9gkN

At CUE Art Foundation

Conceived as a lecture series in residence, Against Monoculture connects multiple partners, artists, and art organizations in an effort to rethink how institutions should thrive in era of debt and crisis. The monocrop industry is an apt metaphor for the contemporary art market. Both scenarios create bad conditions for labor, bad ecosystems for local landscapes, bad environments for cultivating diversity and difference. Against Monoculture troubles the mythology of what is a working artist and considers various types of organizing, institution making, and alternative support structuring that art communities can enable and dream. Premnath is an artist, founder and co-editor of the publication Shifter and has had solo exhibitions at KANSAS, New York; GALLERYSKE, Bangalore; The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis; Tony Wight Gallery, Chicago; Galerie Nordenhake, Berlin; Wave Hill, New York; Statements, Art Basel; as well as numerous group exhibitions at venues including Queens Museum, New York; YBCA, San Francisco; Galerie Balice Hertling, Paris; 1A Space, Hong Kong; and Thomas Erben Gallery, New York. He completed his BFA at The Cleveland Institute of Art, his MFA at Bard College, and has attended the Whitney Independent Study Program, Skowhegan and Smack Mellon. He has received grants from Art Matters and the Civitella Ranieri Foundation, and was awarded the Arthur Levitt Fellowship from Williams College. Based in Brooklyn, Premnath is Assistant Professor at Parsons, New York.

Artist Statement

In “Zero Knot,” an installation and publication, I examine the spectral figure of the monument – a memorial from the past that points towards its historic conception of a future.

The central object in his installation is, what appears to be, a saluting figure standing on a pedestal that is covered up with tarp. This hidden figure is reminiscent of controversial political statues of deposed leaders about to be taken down, or conversely, statues of political leaders yet to be inaugurated.

Like the mathematical zero knot, the monument can be seen as a cipher, simultaneously absent and present. After all, the word monument is derived from the word monere, “to remind,” already containing within it the fear of forgetting.

Likewise, the objects that surround this figure also vacillate between past and future, the body and the image. They lean against walls, resembling signboards discarded after a protest.

Attached to some of the leaning, mirrored surfaces are prints that selectively crop and reveal the hand gestures of political leaders and their statues. It is as if these amputated articulations of power fill in the gesture that we are unable to discern in the hidden, central figure. Screen-prints of knots, diagrammatic chalk drawings and spray paint interrupt our view of these prints as well as our own reflections on the mirrored surfaces.

OPEN TODAY 12-7 PM. BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE FIELD (1968) Very collectable first edition of this iconic catalogue produced in 1968 to accompany "The Field", regarded as a landmark exhibition in Australian art history – a radical showcase of 74 abstract and conceptual, colour field, geometric and hard edge artworks. Influenced by the American origins of abstract art, the exhibition opened to much controversy at the NGV in 1968 with its silver foil-covered walls and geometric light fittings, boldly launching the careers of a generation of young Australian artists including Sydney Ball, Peter Booth, Janet Dawson and Robert Jacks. It was the first the NGV staged in its new Swanston Street galleries. Handsomely designed with its wrapped, french-flap, die-cut cover, the book includes profiles on each exhibiting artist in the exhibition, including colour and black and white reproductions of all 72 of the works exhibited. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary the NGV will restage the exhibition as The Field Revisited, opening in May 2018 at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. Texts by Elwyn Lynn, Patrick McCaughey, Royston Harpur, and an introduction by Brian Finemore (Curator) and John Stringer (Exhibitions Manager). Artists included: Sydney Ball, Peter Booth, Janet Dawson, Robert Jacks, James Doolin, David Aspden, Tony Bishop, Ian Burn, Gunter Christmann, Tony Coleing, Noel Dunn, Garry Foulkes, Dale Hickey, Michael Johnson, Col Jordan, Michael Kitching, Alun Leach-Jones, Nigel Lendon, Tony McGillick, Clement Meadmore, Michael Nicholson, Harald Noritis, Alan Oldfield, Wendy Paramor, Paul Partos, John Peart, Emanuel Raft, Melvyn Ramsden, R.C. Robertson-Swann, Robert Rooney, Rollin Schlicht, Udo Sellbach, Eric Shirley, Joseph Szabo, Vernon Treweeke, Trevor Vickers, Dick Watkins, John White, Normana Wight.
