Arturo Herrera and David Schutter’s joint project is a visual contemplation on the nature of The Double and its difficult ontological implications. Often inviting speculations of the uncanny, things that repeat only once pose questions to origin that can de-stabilize the relationships of being and time while also threatening aspects of historical value. Twins, pairs, doppelgangers, fakes, and reflections are thus sources of double-takes and déjà vu, but are more so fractures that beg inquiry of the way we view the world as a whole and evaluate the continuity of its parts. However, repeated forms are also a ...

Using reflective aluminum grounds and a reduced color palette, John Finneran’s enigmatic paintings merge simple visual motifs—lips, eyes, noses, mussel shells, triangles, and trashcans—with brushy abstraction. The results are at once deeply personal and flatly ubiquitous. The iconic nature of Finneran’s imagery—its repetition and lack of illustrative detail—provides an anchor to the expressionistic and abstract elements of the paintings without locking up the compositions. There is a complex oscillation here; between the painterly and the graphic, one-shot gestures and heavily worked surfaces. Finneran pushes the paintings towards a between space, a space of uncertainty and untethered meaning, a contemplative ...

An exhibition of works by Walead Beshty, Sebastiaan Bremer, Daniel Gordon, Tamar Halpern, Barbara Kasten, Sara VanDerBeek and James Welling. The photograph is almost automatically understood for its ability to capture the world at large, compressing whatever lies within range of the camera into a unified image; contained, continuous and even. This exhibition presents a group of artists that utilize this static notion of the photographic image not as a means to an end, but rather as a point of departure. Their works call attention to how photographs (and pictures, more generally) are constructed ...

Using software processes of his own design, Jason Salavon's distinctive fusion of art and information technology has positioned his work at the forefront of digital art practices. Salavon’s projects often coopt and reconfigure data from popular culture, investigating the interrelationship between the part and the whole or the individual and the group. The final compositions are exhibited as art objects, such as photographic prints and video installations, while others exist in a real-time software context. Old Codes is comprised of ten works — an LCD panel displaying a hyperreal vanitas still life constantly (yet almost imperceptibly) in flux; four prints ...

Tony Wight Gallery is pleased to announce On sinking., an exhibition of new drawings by acclaimed artist Robyn O’Neil. A limited-edition suite of prints, published in conjunction with this exhibition, will also be available through the gallery. Robyn O’Neil’s obsessively detailed drawings have become widely known for their pointed and metaphorical investigations of such inauspicious thematics as the apocolypse, evolution, mass disaster and extinction. O’Neil’s earlier works were often densely populated and epic in scale with communities of little men in uniform tracksuits parading around desolate landscapes, seemingly unaware of the danger their surroundings presented. As this series progressed, the ...
