Zach Feuer Gallery, New York
The exhibition will consist of dynamically opposed installations of new paintings, sculpture and video that subvert the notion of the White Cube and challenge the traditional ways in which we categorize art.
The exhibition will consist of dynamically opposed installations of new paintings,
sculpture and video that subvert the notion of the White Cube and challenge the traditional ways in which we categorize art.
The first gallery will contain the artist 's signature salon style installation
in which the full range of
Henning 's paintings will be exhibited on walls of interlocking fields of
asymmetrical color. Sculpture, wherein
recurring motifs are explored in three-dimensional form, will be shown alongside the
paintings.
The second gallery will present an installation of paintings illuminated only from
the light within the frames of the
artist 's own design. This self-illuminating installation, in which the
voluptuously upbeat is supplanted with the
starkly sinister, forces the paintings to stand out from the white walls on which
the work hangs.
The exhibition will also include a video that explores the surface of one of the
artist 's signature paintings of
heavy impasto and swirling vortex forms, ;Cranberry Juice, Virus and
Band-Aid, ; from which the title of the
exhibition is taken. The artist recently reworked the painting, a still-life that
was exhibited in Henning 's last New
York exhibition in 1991.
Anton Henning has exhibited widely in museums and galleries internationally. He was
recently the focus of solo
exhibitions at Museum fur Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main; Museum Haus Esters,
Krefeld and MARTa
Herford. Solo exhibitions of his work will open at SMAK in Belgium in January 2007,
at the Gemeente Museum, Den
Haag in the Netherlands in July 2007 and at the Arp Museum in Germany in the fall of
2007. Anton Henning 's
work is represented in the permanent collections of numerous museums including
Kunstmuseum, Luzern; Arp
Museum, Rolandseck; Galerie fur Zeitgenossische Kunst, Leipzig; Museum
fur Moderne Kunst,
Frankfurt am Main; Krefelder Kunstmuseen, Krefeld; De Pont Museum of Contemporary
Art, Tilburg and Nerman
Museum of Art, Kansas City.
