In
Parkett 65: Space distinguishes the pictures in this issue, not meaning
the - illusionism
that sees the picture as a window through which we look, but
- rather
a breathing space, a field of freedom created with great care by John
- Currin,
Laura Owens, and Michael Raedecker. Ironically, that sentence recalls
- an
artistic movement of the past in which explosive gesture prevailed. Here,
- the
opposite is true.
In
the section on John Currin, Keith Seward takes on his early nudes and the
- genre
of nude painting. Mark van de Walle looks at his recent work that has
- gone
beyond the breasts and babes, to men, kitsch, and more art history.
- Swiss
novelist Sibylle Berg completes the section with a poetic reflection that
- could
have been authored by one of Currin's painted ladies.
For
Laura Owens' collaboration section, curator Russell Ferguson takes us into
- the
L.A. painter's studio and follows the progress of one of her recent works,
- from
sketch to finished canvas. Benjamin Weissman contributed an original story,
- »Monkey
Man Killer,« inspired by Owen's paintings. Mungo Thomson, a friend
of
- the
artist, discusses her painting philosophy and her varied approach to making
- works
specifically tailored for every space and situation.
On
Michael Raedecker, Bert Verschaffel investigates his painting strategy
and - the
»unsettling« effect of Raedecker's »evocative«
paintings. Terry Myers
- explores
Raedecker's »sampling« method derived from his music, fashion
and
- artistic
backgrounds that all meet on the canvas. Writer and novelist Dave Eg-
- gers
wrote a story about a boy and his father to complement Raedecker and
- his
winter-like paintings.
