Fig continues his exploration of the working process of other artists / painters through a series of exquisite miniature sculptures of their studios (1 inch = 1 foot scale). fig also presents photographs of his sculptures, which at first are often mistaken for film stills or photos of the actual artist, but which on careful inspect reveal tell-tale signs of their artificiality and reemphasize the artistic processes being examined.


comunicato stampa

Contemporaries

plus ultra gallery is very pleased to present contemporaries, the second solo exhibit of new work by joe fig. a remarkably gifted painter in his own right, fig continues his exploration of the working process of other artists / painters through a series of exquisite miniature sculptures of their studios (1 inch = 1 foot scale). fig also presents photographs of his sculptures, which at first are often mistaken for film stills or photos of the actual artist, but which on careful inspect reveal tell-tale signs of their artificiality and reemphasize the artistic processes being examined.

following his series of studios of abstract expressionists (which were exhibited at ps1/moma in october 2001), fig has recently expanded his project to include an in-depth examiniation of important contemporary artists. in addition to recording a formal interview, he photographs the artist's studio, inside and out, and recreates their space, thereby capturing a moment in the pre-provenance of specific works, as well as accurate, intimate records of a usually very private realm. for contemporarires, fig presents his latest sculptures, photographs and drawings, including the studios of fred tomaselli, inka essenhigh and steve mumford, matthew ritchie, and others.
