In the studio, painting sets in motion relations between bodies and forms, images and matter. With an eye on art history, one might diagnose that “everything” has been done before, and yet painting has the capacity to surprise its makers and to reposition its viewers.
As an object, painting has a material and linguistic problem: the painted thing will never be the thing itself. An image of mud, a sensitive curve; the painting body enacts the depiction of another body; a sign for a sign for a sign. Painting is troubled by language and bothered by naming. Abstraction is cramped by flatness, disembodiment and repression; representation by illusion, figuration and psychology. What if the material, formal and historical possibilities of painting are not fixed categories mapped on to the work, but rather a toolbox for their dismantling?
Through visual and textual inputs, in group conversations and individual consultations, we will consider the possibilities of painting outside – and in the rift between – conventional binaries such as figuration vsabstraction, depth vs flatness, and observation vs imagination. As they explore working with and against fixed categories, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the meanings of style and the political implications of form.
Ulrike Müller mobilises vocabularies of colour and shape that are politically and emotionally charged and encourage figurative readings. Alongside small-scale paintings in vitreous enamel, Müller also produces expansive wall paintings, publications, prints and textiles.
Evie K Horton is a painter living in Brooklyn, NY. Through recursive and associative modes of depiction, her work explores the ways in which painting is troubled by language, romance, anxiety, embodiment and contradiction.
