Co-curators Jessica Stockholder and Ian Berry discuss their ideas on abstraction and their collaboration for the Tang exhibition The Jewel Thief.

The Jewel Thief featured painting, sculpture, textiles, wallpaper, chandeliers, video, and photography by over fifty contemporary artists to explore new ways to think about and experience abstract art. Using divergent forms of display, the exhibition focused attention on art’s intersection with the decorative and functional elements of architecture.

When does a painting stop being a private object and start becoming a public work? In this film, artist Keltie Ferris prepares for her show KF + CM 4EVER (2010) by crating a new series of paintings in her Bushwick studio, shipping the work across town in a van, and installing the exhibition at Horton Gallery in Chelsea—all in the same day. The artist and a team of art handlers shadowbox a “tacky” painting and roll a second painting that’s too large to fit through the studio door.
