SYRUP OF THE HAND / Jonathan VanDyke
-------------------------------------------------------------
Opening: Sunday, March 10, 4-6pm
On view March 10-24, 2013
Syrup of the Hand is the second presentation of a two-part exhibition, Sweats of a Hippo, organized by Daisy Nam, inspired by an incident in 1944; Jean Dubuffet's painting unexpectedly revealed its materiality and process.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Court Square is pleased to present Syrup of the Hand, a special project created for the space by Jonathan VanDyke and curated by Daisy Nam. In his new photographs, paintings, and video, VanDyke articulates painting as a performed, collaborative medium: each piece comes about through intensive experimentation with mediums and multiple authors. Looming around the work is the desiring, emotive figure of the maker/performer: the "syrup of the hand" being the viscous stuff of liquid paint while also referencing bodily fluids and subconscious energies.
