3) 전시 기간: 2024. 2. 2 - 3. 9
'미국 아티스트' 톰 홈즈(b. 1979)의 개인전, <FLAZÉDA> 展을 다녀왔습니다. 전시 제목 "FLAZÉDA"는 미국 TV 프로그램 "Ru Paul's Drag Race"에서 차용되었다고 합니다. "Flazéda"는 도전자 Pearl이 blasé, laissez-faire, la-di-da를 즉흥적으로 합성한 말로써 '느긋한 상태'를 의미한다고 합니다.
작가의 작품에서 드러난 실내공간은 작품 안에 물리적인 공간의 환영을 만들어낼 뿐만 아니라 탐험의 순간에 표류하는 의식을 공간 속에 암시한다고 합니다.
About Him
Tom Holmes mounted their first solo museum show Temporary Monument in 2013 at the Kunsthalle Bern. Their work has been included in exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Contemporary Art Biennial, Sélestat, France; Malmö Konstmuseum, Sweden and the Whitney Museum at Altria, New York. Work resides in the public collections of Albright-Knox, FRAC Bourgogne, Stiftung Kunsthalle Bern, and The Frances Young Tang Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College.
Um, well, can an artwork be timeless without, at some point, being timely? My aspirations seem to straddle such a conundrum. In practice I’m really trying to show up, in this moment, observing phenomena as it is and not as I fancy it should be. That said, paintings as objects in the Western tradition, are often flexing some long-reaching ambition to speak to an unknown future audience. I mean, in the studio, it rarely comes to mind. There is a freighting amount of freedom while the thing is wet. The subject of mortality seems a sine qua non of this pesky human condition, no? Metaphor, however, the spoon-full-o-sugar I’m using here, has come under attack in decades, centuries, past. I best not play clairvoyant. The maker is always in a blind spot.
