Albert Oehlen / Josh Smith
Zabludowicz Collection, New York
The group exhibition consists of works from the Collection that explore and challenge the practice of two dimensional painting by working with additional practices and media such as photography, sculpture, printmaking and time-based interactions with painting.
Painting from the Zabludowicz Collection: Part II
Albert Oehlen / Josh Smith / Group exhibition of works from the Collection
Part II will feature a solo presentation of work by Josh Smith and a group exhibition of works
from the Collection. Albert Oehlen’s solo exhibition will continue through Part II.
Josh Smith is a New York-based painter whose work explores notions of authorship, authenticity
and originality. Smith frequently uses his own name as a visual trope running through his work,
making it both an image and a signifier of his identity. His repetitive practice fosters an exploration
of meaning and aesthetics as well as the shifting grounds that connect them. This exhibition will
include works by Smith made over the past six years.
The group exhibition will consist of works from the Collection that explore and challenge the
practice of two dimensional painting by working with additional practices and media such as
photography, sculpture, printmaking and time-based interactions with painting. It will feature
works by artists from the USA including Tauba Auerbach, Jessica Dickinson, Sam Falls, Alex
Hubbard, Nathan Hylden, Rosy Keyser and Ned Vena. These works strain at the boundaries
of painting’s history and physicality, suggesting a metaphysics of painting, which the exhibition
will explore.
Painting from the Zabludowicz Collection will be accompanied by a series of public
events focusing on the works on display and some of the wider themes surrounding
contemporary painting.
The Zabludowicz Collection is dedicated to bringing emerging art to new audiences and
actively supporting arts organisations and artists. It was founded in 1994, and contains over
2,000 works by over 500 artists, spanning 40 years of art production. Its focus is on emerging
art from the late 20th century to the present day. The Zabludowicz Collection’s programme is
focused on working with artists and curators to produce exhibitions of works from the Collection
which examine contemporary art practice, present the Collection in a public forum, and respond
to the unusual exhibition space at 176 Prince of Wales Road. The Collection also exhibits in
permanent venues in the USA and Finland. The Zabludowicz Collection’s activities in New York
and Sarvisalo will be announced soon and will include commissions, residencies, performances
and new exhibitions.
