For the exhibition the artist will create a new work in the north gallery which will include a direct intervention, and new works on canvas.
Toroni's reductive, systematic, working process, developed over a period of thirty years, has utilized site-specific environments and diverse surfaces in which to free painting from its prescribed, representative conditions. His method, brushstrokes made with imprints of a no. 50 paintbrush and repeated at regular intervals of 30 cm, began at a debut in 1967 in Paris at an exhibition-performance at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture, the Musèe d'Art Moderne, Paris. Since that time he has had countless one-man shows and has participated in numerous group exhibitions at notable venues throughout Europe, Asia and the United States.

RINEKE DIJKSTRA:"The French Foreign Legion: Olivier Silva"

Marian Goodman Gallery is delighted to present an exhibition of new work by Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra. This will be her second solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition will open to the public on September 10th and continue through October 11th. The gallery's hours are Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The artist will present a new series of works in the South Gallery, developed in continuum over the past three years, in which transitional moments in young lives and the incremental passageway to adulthood are seen via young soldiers in military training. The show will include portraits of a French Foreign Legion officer, known as "Olivier", at precise moments in intensive training in France and Africa: from his first day in the Foreign Legion in July 2000 in Aubagne (near Marseilles), to the moment when he is sent out into various parts of the world--Gabon, the Ivory Coast, and Djibouti-in 2003.
About this group of works, a selection of which were first seen in a debut exhibition in 2001 at The Art Institute of Chicago, the artist writes: "In my work I look for specific characteristics of individual people within group settings.... military service implies that one has to submit to a collective identity. There is always a tension, however, between the values of the individual and the values of the community. I am interested in the paradox between identity and uniformity, in the power and the vulnerability of each individual and each group. It is this paradox that I try to visualize by concentrating on poses, attitudes and gestures."

Rineke Dijkstra's work has encompassed numerous series which capture the subject at a decisive moment of transition, often apprehending the rite of passage of adolescence, and rendering it in full frontal portraits which define the shift to incipient adulthood or the interval, whether physical or psychological, between changing identities.
