Ingrid Calame: In Process
Monterey Museum of Art, La Mirada, Louisiana, Monterey, 10/30/2010 - 02/27/2011
전시에 관하여
In Process is a contemporary art series featuring current projects by emerging and mid-career artists. Each installment in the series features 10-25 works by the artist and frequently includes ephemeral, site-specific installations. The second exhibition in the series will focus on the work of Los Angeles-based painter Ingrid Calame (b.1965).
The idea of tracing defines the conceptual as well as physical dimension of Ingrid Calame’s work. Interpreting Los Angeles as a series of surfaces on which the inhabitants of the city “draw,” Calame focuses on the every day stains, spills, and graffiti that decorate sidewalks, streets and building façades. She begins by tracing these marks in graphite, directly onto sheets of transparent mylar, then layering the traces on her studio floor. Once the traces are significantly dense and visually complex, their many layers are traced once more, in color pencil, onto a single sheet of mylar. The resulting drawings, delicate and calligraphic, weave these disparate traces together into a singular abstract composition. Frequently, Calame uses these trace-based drawings as sources for her bold, dynamic paintings. Whereas the drawings are comprised of the outlines of the stains she has traced, in the paintings each trace is stained with bright, enamel paint. The resulting compositions, energetic and strident, also correspond to the act of tracing that began with Calame’s direct engagement with the many surfaces of Los Angeles. In addition to drawings and paintings, the installation will include a site-specific work, executed directly on the gallery walls.
