Frances Stark in Her Studio

Hammer Museum — Mon, 02 May 2011 22:03:47 +0000

Institution:

Hammer Museum

In November 2010 we visited Frances Stark in her Chinatown studio to discuss her work in relation to the exhibition "All of this and nothing". Language is both a medium and a subject in the work of Frances Stark, whose works on paper and sculptures explore the potential and the limits of language. Fascinated by language's ability to both inscribe and confuse meaning, her work explores art's capacity for communication, and interpretation in works that often take up the subject of the artist's studio and working processes.

Contemporary Artist Oliver Herring works in a variety of media, including film, woven mylar, and paper. In this regard, he is similar to many of the other artists from the exhibition Slash: Paper under the Knife. For Herring, cut paper becomes a powerful expressive tool in the service of what he calls 'photo sculptures.'

Museum of Arts & Design

Transylvanian artist Andrea Dezsö work is always engaging but often quite dark and foreboding. Like the best kind of fairy tale, when looking at her pieces you often feel like the big bad wolf might be lurking around the next corner, ready to jump out and eat you. Her series of cut paper stage pieces created for the exhibition Slash: Paper Under the Knife is no exception.
