Art Antwerp - Viewing Room
Art Antwerp
16 - 19 December 2021
Campoli Presti is pleased to be participating at Art Antwerp for the first time with a presentation of work by Katherine Bradford, Heike-Karin Föll, Xylor Jane, Nick Mauss, Eileen Quinlan and Cheyney Thompson.
Xylor Jane
Xylor Jane's paintings join the precision of conceptual values such as progression, method and the use of the grid, while focusing on numbers as recognisable visual forms of universal, empathic value. The visual impact of her paintings is not only achieved by a meticulous manufacture but by the subtle movement that colour and paint create on the surface of the canvas. Blending Pointillism, Op art, Conceptualism and algorithmic approaches, her works offer a moment of slow contemplation in an overwhelming image culture.

kianja strobert
Kianja Strobert’s recent series of works presents the process, the raw material, the motivations and the goal simultaneously, devoid of any hierarchy. Strobert’s troughs filled with colour are made using pewter, a metal primarily used for decorative metal items and tableware in ancient times by the Egyptians. The work shares the context of other products of consumption, suggested by the repetition of utensils, objects and themes. Strobert’s works propose an attitude toward finish, in which the painter does not disguise the means of arriving at the final work. From ideation to creation, we are let into the artist as a maker in the studio, and a filter of our world.

NICK MAUSS
The American / German artist Nick Mauss (born 1980) has formed his work through a finely tuned sensory register, with drawing at the centre of a praxis which otherwise eludes all simple categorizations. Expanding the medium of drawing through multiple registers at the same time, Mauss’ approach to drawing fuses peripatetically to other possible formats, including sculpture, publications, the format of the exhibition, and writing. In the last decade, Mauss has been expanding his artistic practice to encompass the role of curator, choreographer, scholar and performer. “I mean choreography,” says Mauss, “as a way to organise and rearrange, to work with media in time, to find new forms and sequences, as well as to revive historical material in the present.”

Bizarre Silks, Private Imaginings and Narrative Facts, etc
7 February – 20 September 2020
Kunsthalle Basel
In Nick Mauss’ ceramic wall works, the preliminary qualities of a sketch are translated into a constructed material object, creating a passage between anticipation and full realization, invention and variation. They are produced at Gatti, Faenza, known for their collaboration with exponents of the Futurist movement. The original drawings are consciously betrayed by Mauss’ production process, by the stratifcation of illustrations overlapped in the intervals of the fring phases of the ceramic glaze: fgures and movements that repeat themselves, colliding with backgrounds and recurring ornamental motifs to conquer the foreground.
Untitled 2012 detail
Nick Mauss lives and works in New York. The artist is currently featured in the exhibition Les Flammes - L’Âge de la céramique at Musée d’art moderne de Paris. His work “Images in Mind” is currently on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art as part of its permanent collection. In 2020 he staged the exhibition “Bizarre Silks, Private Imaginings and Narrative Facts, etc.” at Kunsthalle Basel and published “Transmissions” with Yale University Press and Dancing Foxes Press, a book that expands on his solo exhibition of the same name at the Whitney. Mauss’ work will be on view at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in the exhibition Les Flammes. L’art vivant de la céramique curated by Anne Dressen, opening this October. Mauss recently was part of the exhibition Transcorporealities at Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2019). Past solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Basel (2020); Whitney Museum, New York (2019); Triennale di Milano and Torre Velasca, Milan (2018); Serralves Museum, Porto (2017); Bergen Kunsthall, Norway (2013) and Midway Contemporary Art, Minneapolis (2011).
katherine bradford
Interacting with increasingly segmented, abstract backgrounds, the figures in Bradford's recent paintings address constructed social roles, like the archetypical figure of the mother, through incongruous, dream-like scenes. Bradford creates her figures with elementary painterly marks, often lacking detail or facial features that would allow to assign a gender identity. Although charged with social interactions shifting between domination and agency, her groups of people exist in collective fluidity, in an intangible atmosphere where bodies interweave and dissolve.

eileen quinlan
Eileen Quinlan explores the material boundaries of the photographic process by producing abstract images that are deeply grounded in feminist history, and the mechanics of presentation and consumption. Quinlan exposes the constructed nature of her medium by either mobilising commercial photography techniques or manually altering the surface of the negative, making the hand of the artist appear and recede.

cheyney thompson
Cheyney Thompson’s new series of Displacement paintings posits each canvas’s ground as a touch-sensitive surface. The works adopt a uniform structure of fivemillimeter square black marks painted in a gridded pattern atop a white ground. Before the paint is dry, Thompson deploys an assortment of custom silicone tools against the surface, forcing the wet squares out of place. He adds no new material, but rather subjects the existing marks to this process of reorganisation. The resulting transformations appear as extensions of squares into lines, glyph-like forms, and sweeping, sinuous fields of paint. Each painting has become a record of the tools’ interaction with the surface: the stops and starts, the kinetic limits of Thompson’s body and the entropic movement of the order of painted squares into noise. But, they are also pictures, as this play of ruptures and conjured forms has been frozen into an unsettled pictorial field, still with the trappings of figure ground, composition, and space.

heike karin föll
Heike-Karin Föll’s work examines the materiality and status of painting, drawing and writing in a culture increasingly dominated by the circulation of digital images. The quotation of pre-existing references and the appropriation of specifically nonpictorial techniques, such as collage and writing, are at the core of her work. Föll questions the authority of the medium of painting, historically linked to the larger format and the masculine, by paying particular attention to what is artistically considered as minor. Her work recalibrates the boundaries between painting and writing, fine arts and decorative arts, the material and the digital.
