|
|
Maybe it's just because I've been listening to Autechre's NTS Session on repeat, but something about these two tracks seems to share some DNA/source code with crunchy abstractions they've immersed themselves in lately, a vaguely more pop take on the sound of a skipping hard drive.
|
|
The breakdown of the story structure shares a lot in common with the Dragon Quest games—not coincidentally the best-selling franchise for ActRaiser publisher Enix—and all of these micro-tales go a long way toward humanizing a genre that normally treats people as abstractions.
|
|
But this doesn't seem to be about that, and it seems foolish to deny that a broader unease—the seething and fearful tribalisms loose in the culture, the intersecting insecurities that come from being subject to the crushing abstractions of our moment—isn't steepening this response.
|
|
That's how you end up with slowly swooning synthetics like the watery opener to 2008's Quaristice "Altibzz" or the vaguely orchestral plinks of Oversteps "Known(1)"—a record that, in general, provided a blueprint Arca's blissed abstractions half a decade before his debut full-length.
|
|
The world of nail art is a vast and vibrant scene, from the bold structural designs of Alicia Torello, to the pop-inspired styles of London's WAH Nails, to the cheerful abstractions of Japan's Nail Salon Ava Rice, there's big business and high art in cuticle creativity.

Heavy on parallels and antitheses, they're even heavier on abstractions, the words just a syllable or two, on rare occasions three, almost never four: The parking lot is empty They killed the neon sign It's dark from here to St. Jovite It's dark all down the line.
|
|
In Schöpke's most gestural, energetic, abstract compositions, some viewers may also find affinities with the distinctive lines of such well-known modernists as Cy Twombly or Joan Mitchell, next to whose pastel-on-paper abstractions Schöpke's own, made with plain pencil and crayons, would certainly provoke a fascinating dialogue.
|
|

|
|
Bringing this new sensibility and openness, Lorena's photographs on Lorena Street show abstractions of what we are taught to see: I didn't expect to find, for example, an elaborate medicinal garden tended by an older lady in the housing projects, or realize that rotting fruit could symbolize prosperity.
|
|
Where this push might have taken him is anyone's guess, although one answer seems proffered by two large watercolors that hang adjacent: They have the airy, feral delicacy of the small, linear abstractions by the German painter Wols, another Klee acolyte, whose work goes unmentioned in the catalog.
|
|
Working with projections on prints, the works will synthesize Murphy's digital architectural spaces with Ratté's glitchy abstractions to depict "an impalpable reality where architectures and interlocking lattices are continuously evolving, transforming and morphing into new environments, thus unfolding a constantly shifting perspective between dimensions," according to the gallery.

|
|
Jim Shaw's puerile "The Old Masturbator and the Far Away Hills" (2019) shows Ronald Reagan, drawn as smoke wafting out of a country cabin in a landscape painting, while Vidya Gastaldon's near-abstractions and Enrico Baj's mash-ups of kitsch ladies and brutalist monsters serve as delectably hallucinogenic examples.
|
|
In his painting "Evangelical Christian Church" (1983), which was also in the Exit Art exhibition, we see an abandoned car, stripped of its tires, in front of a church, whose brightly colored windows in this largely black and gray painting recall Piet Mondrian's abstractions and van Dalen's Dutch upbringing.
|
|
Not a Matryushka doll of nested software abstractions, running on some faraway server whose physical details you don't know or care about; not digital chipsets and circuit boards, taking advantage of Moore's Law and the peace dividend of the smartphone wars, to drive LEDs or solenoids or little electric motors.
|
|
You can see some vision of TREKKIE TRAX's egalitarian approach on their recently released collection of remixes from Carpainter's 23 album Returning, the blissed rave-ups of Seimei's cotton-candy flip of "Returning" lives right alongside the weightless abstractions of Foodman's take on "Silver Glass," no distinction drawn between them.
|
|
It is unsurprising, then, that the earliest stages of religious belief are typically structured around attempts to master nature: elemental gods – abstractions from aspects of the natural environment, such as the volcano or the sea – are worshipped in the form of sacrificial rituals that aim to placate and therefore control them.
|
|
Perhaps most significantly, Schapiro's compositions are not allover abstractions, and that not alloverness — the fact that each presents a figure on a ground — is the one element that could be interpreted as a subtle critique of the Greenbergian imperative to deemphasize figure and privilege the totality and immediacy of ground.
|
|
Her early oil abstractions draw on spiritualist modes of thought, à la Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Hilma af Klint, and have a sensory reception to music and sound; the interplay of hard and soft edges and geometric form such as in "Blue and Green Music" (1919/21) express movement and dynamism.
|
|
There's more to marvel at in the Whitney Museum of American Art's compact but ravishing exhibition of about 217 works, which focuses on the pivotal period of 1948-78 — years in which Ms. Herrera developed her signature geometric abstractions, pared-down paintings of just two colors but seemingly infinite spatial complications.
|
|
More than 100 watercolors and classroom charts are here, from painstakingly accurate paintings of reeds and mushrooms to boldly colored abstractions of the earth's crust and core, and they share space with a splendid array of diaries and correspondence, redolent with the Hitchcocks' intertwined loves for science, God and each other.
|
|
Like her predecessors, Zittel's material is also the Southwestern desert, but she isn't a land artist in the traditional mode: Instead of moving earth with giant machines, or leaving hulking, unpeopled abstractions amid the dust, she employs this vast landscape to explore and challenge the quotidian functions of our existence.
|
|
The records in Casino's Instrumental Mixtape series (currently on volume 4) are the craftiest of minimalist exercises: some of the tracks are instrumental versions of previously released rap songs, while others are new, but all sound like whooshing abstractions, barely coherent as music, before soothing melodies and harmonic structures reliably surface.
|
|
In an exquisite navy-teal room straight out of Stephen Frears's Dangerous Liaisons (1988), a squadron of resplendent geometric semi-abstractions by the young painter Loie Hollowell hang across from Edgar Degas's "The Conversation" (1895), itself luminous on a wall of pink sateen shaded with umber and tinted like silk.
|
|
If the purpose of Boies' suit is to ensure that all voters are not "disenfranchised" by the winner-take-all system, then he will have some explaining to do when the actual electoral voting takes place, since it is electors — and not mathematical abstractions —doing the voting in the Electoral College.
|
|
Toledo deals in big philosophical abstractions and self-referential musings while occasionally cutting to jarringly specific scenes; a passage about old Car Seat Headrest songs on "Beach Life-in-Death," for example, gives way to an anecdote about Toledo pretending he was drunk when he came out to his friends.
|
|
The images move from isolated abstractions and geometric shapes to take on something of a narrative — specifically that of the very real history of Apartheid in South Africa, evoked concretely, for instance, with the flashing of a date (1976, the year of the Soweto uprising) and a name (Desmond Tutu).
|
|
The works in the artist's current solo exhibition at Blum & Poe on the Upper East Side can be compared to the abstractions of Robert Motherwell or Richard Diebenkorn, though they sometimes play with semi-abstraction, as in the face appearing out of a swirl of blue and red paint in "Elder Feng" (2015).
|
|
Inside you'll find a simple, stapled booklet of poetry interspersed with attractive artwork — lately, usually the poet's own colored pencil abstractions — always under the name of a different press, but also always, you'll notice from the last-page colophon, printed at Kwik Print in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in an edition of 200.
|
|
Simply called "Composizione (Composition)" — a title shared by adjacently hung geometric abstractions from the mid-1930s by Reggiani and Soldati — the painting is a boldly colored series of interlocking squares and rectangles; there isn't a single diagonal present except for one bisecting an orange and blue square in the lower right corner.
|
|
Many of those have to do with its divergences from C, including an abandonment of the system calls that nicely bind together C and the Unix operating system; the offspring language's more abstracted approach to system memory; and many things to do with C++'s handling of the programming abstractions known as objects.

Courtesy ARS Clinching the gaucherie of the show is the use of the Herrera of its title: Carmen Herrera, a Cuban-born painter, now a hundred and three years old and living in New York, who only recently has gained the recognition that she deserves for her rigorously spare hard-edged abstractions.
|
|
Some of the two-dimensional works, like Hankwitz's "C'mon, C'mon," emphasize the flatness of their medium — Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson's handwoven silk painting, Susan Wanklyn's playful abstractions in casein on wood panel, and Robert Moskowitz's equally buoyant pastel silhouettes of a baseball bat and a beer bottle on nearly empty sheets of paper.
|
|
Dan Flavin's rack of red, white, and blue florescent tubes mounted against an enormous bank of windows is one sublime vision; Agnes Martin's series of acrylic-and-graphite paintings, Innocent Love (1999), and the adjacent gallery of Blinky Palermo's Times of the Day (1974–76), consisting of 24 tripartite abstractions, are others.

They may have superficial resemblances to the painting of Yayoi Kusama or (heaven help us) Damien Hirst, yet the essential point here is that these are not abstractions: Their allover compositions of dots and squiggles represent lands, dreams, and stories, revealing that in indigenous Australia the difference between representation and abstraction is inconsequential.

At some point, the American empire invariably forces unconscionable choices on American presidents, all of which resolve to the question of whether it is worth it to immiserate (or incinerate) hundreds or thousands or millions of people someplace far away to serve purportedly Serious abstractions about security and stability or narrower electoral concerns.

Some of the most unexpected works on view include the mixed-media, anatomically accurate dinosaur sculptures of the German artist Julia Krause-Harder (born 1973) and the circular-form abstractions in oil pastel and pencil on paper by the Austrian Sigrid Reingruber (born 1980), which bring to mind featureless faces or strange fruits.

There is less of a tendency for modern humans to live thoroughly immersed in life, experiencing it, and more of a tendency of being mostly distracted by its abstractions, by all the ways our culture conceptually frames our existence as individuals, Democrats and Republicans, man and women, one percenters, workers, consumers, and so on.

While most of Ghost in the Shell's best scenes (the violent, slow-motion ballet that kicks off the film; an eerie raid on the villain's headquarters midway through) are wordless, you also have to make it through annoying moments when characters talk tediously on and on about grand abstractions like Humanity and The Soul.

Excavations & Certainties at John Molloy Gallery on the Upper East Side was another show that brought together sculpture and painting but in an altogether different way, featuring recycled plastic vessels by Shari Mendelson and thickly articulated abstractions by Theresa Hackett, whose interaction unexpectedly transformed the space around them into a construct of uncanny, unitary perfection.

To be honest, I'm not any more interested in the particulars of af Klint's belief systems than I am in, say, the mysticism that Agnes Martin conveyed when talking about the delicate stripes and grids of her paintings, or the numerical systems and Mayan hieroglyphs that figured in Alfred Jensen's bright, crusty checkerboard abstractions.

Unlike many in his field, he avoided the abstruse abstractions of French deconstructionism, but he was also devoted to the work of Harold Bloom, his Yale colleague in the English department, whose book "The Anxiety of Influence" did so much to help Professor Scully's own approach to the course of architectural ideas through the generations.

Those now well-known, critically praised concoctions, luscious and oozing a fecund air, share spiritual affinities as much with the colorful experiments of such Early Modernist abstractionists as Wassily Kandinsky or Sonia and Robert Delaunay as they do with some of the much later, exuberant abstractions of the American painter Elizabeth Murray (21941–203).

This brings Kandinsky's interest in the trajectory of a line to my mind, but Choucair was looking at something else: from Metzler's work on the notebooks we know that the infinite structures Choucair was looking at were not mere abstractions, but actually a model of deoxyribonucleic acid and early models of the human genome.

Rather than seeking to build a multimedia assemblage as a unified, tightly controlled monument, he advocated a casual multiplicity across media, an attitude of productive flexibility that takes creativity and expression to be human birthrights, subsuming the energies of the body's metabolism (all that soon-to-be-consumed kohlrabi) and the abstractions of the greatest music.

But Intermural Art — as seen not only in the works outlined above but in the generative abstractions of Eltono, the sculptural installations of Clemens Behr, and the projects and performances of Filippo Minelli for example — takes the Graffiti and Street Art model, as concept, as method, as ethic, and translates it into a new form of art.

While a number of the works on view, particularly those by Ruben Ochoa and Daisey Quezada, approach the subject at hand through elegant abstractions with discernable connections to minimalism and politically charged conceptual work, I found myself fixated on works that unpack dominant historical narratives and push viewers to append their knowledge of the formulation of Latinx history.

There were incisive shows of the remarkable 1970s tape paintings by Merrill Wagner at Zürcher Gallery in the East Village; the architectonic abstractions in hot colors on a black ground by Jason Karolak at McKenzie Fine Art on the Lower East Side; and the minimal early paintings of the found-object sculptor Al Taylor at David Zwirner in Chelsea.

And in gorgeously languid pieces like 4th Floor to Mildness (2016) and Worry Will Vanish Relief (2014), she zooms in on parts of the body we rarely view closely — often out of disgust, shame, or familiarity — transforming them into beautiful abstractions, almost indistinguishable from the leaves and dirt and stems of the natural world alongside them.

The show's boldest gambit, though one that falters for me, is an emphasis on the vast canvases of Warhol's last years: gridded representations of Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" and "Last Supper," immense Rorschach blots in black or gold, abstractions in copper paint oxidized by urine; fields of camouflage patterns; and collaborations with the youthful phenom Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Despite the rash of scraped-surface, color-field, process-oriented, minimalist, post-minimalist, and paint-slopping gestural abstractions that have turned up at art fairs and in galleries in recent years, most of which have quoted familiar sources with a wink of postmodernist irony, the joke actually has been on the makers of such lackluster art product.

"When They Call You a Terrorist," by Patrisse Khan-Cullors, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, written with asha bandele, a former features editor at Essence, abandons such abstractions for details — at times one wishes there were even more — to help readers understand what it means to be a black woman in the United States today.

Titled "Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again," it stars a full cross-section of his epochal creations: The Soup Cans and Marilyns of the early 1960s, which held up a mirror to American commodity culture; the experimental films of his Factory years; the society portraits, homoerotica and almost-abstractions of his last two decades.

The young Jacobs also held long imaginary conversations with the Founding Fathers, dismissing Jefferson's abstractions in order to talk to the more practical-minded Ben Franklin, who "was interested in nitty-gritty, down-to-earth details, such as why the alley we were walking through wasn't paved, and who would pave it," as she recounted to an interviewer.

Marx's innovation is to say that this could be applied not just to God but to other abstractions, like the state or the economy: Man creates these things in the course of history but they appear to him as having independent force, as though he is the creature of them and not the other way around.

Now, Hiroyuki Doi: Soul, a presentation of Doi's newest ink-on-paper abstractions at Ricco/Maresca, a gallery in Chelsea, offers an opportunity to catch up with the latest developments in the sprawling clusters of minuscule circles that have become this Japanese artist's signature creations, and the determination with which he has continued to explore the expressive power of this distinctive formal language.
