"In the current exhibition three-dimensionality and the relationship with space and color play ever-important roles. 'Raised Eyebrows/ Furrowed Foreheads' continues the artist's exploration of human identity through the fragmentation of parts of the body. As in prior series 'Noses & Ears, Etc,' or Arms and Legs (Specif. Elbows and Knees), Etc', paintings that the artist did in the fifties are the source. At the time these works were a result of Baldessari's immersion in thinking about totality-- what was a part and what was a whole--which continues to be a central concern in his work. Alongside this concentration is his ongoing interest in the relief of motif and ground; the segment as visual syntax; the unexpected hybrid; the merging of photography, painting, and sculpture."

Exclusive Episode #082: During the installation of his exhibition "Raised Eyebrows/ Furrowed Foreheads" (2009) at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York, artist John Baldessari discusses his life-long obsession with the distinction between parts and wholes, as well as his reductive philosophy of art-making.

Synthesizing photomontage, painting, and language, Baldessari’s deadpan visual juxtapositions equate images with words and illuminate, confound, and challenge meaning. He upends commonly held expectations of how images function, often by drawing the viewer’s attention to minor details, absences, or the spaces between things.
