Statement from Judy Rushin:
The
Secret Social Life of Painting is an exhibition of works in two parts
by Judy Rushin and is simultaneously on view at Co-Lab and N Space. The
works at Co-Lab hang on and lean against the walls and stand freely in
open spaces, creating an experiential environment that Rushin sees as an
extension of themes developed in the 60s by artists like Blinky
Palermo, Imi Knoebel, and Helio Oiticica. Like her forerunners, Rushin
allows her creative process to be intuitive and her post-creation
analyses to be equally fluid. Essentially though, she reduces the
elements of discourse to their most basic components to establish a
space for larger and more mysterious concepts to emerge. Hanging limp or
connected to one another, the paintings look for new ways to be
paintings… and that’s it. No neon signs, no climaxes, no imagery, no
limelight. The work exists quietly, proceeds at a slow pace, and waits
patiently for your attention. While the works on view at Co-Lab create a
group dynamic, the works on view at N Space focus on individual pieces.
Their statements are understated – they’re about the rigor of
simplicity, not virtuosity for its own sake — but stripped of the
anonymity of the group setting, they reveal an ability to speak
confidently in their own right.
