Her sensibility seems grounded in a raw, aggressive embrace of chaotic instinct, which reminds me of nothing so much as a bad trip or a nervous breakdown, particulary the Eye Body photos, so I can't say it appeals to me very much. Most of the results are unexceptional figurative drawings or assemblages that look like a big mess, sort of like Jasper Johns' gray paintings without any formal constraints, although a couple of her more abstract paintings remind me a lot of Cecily Brown, which is pretty shocking considering they're from 1960. the physicality of the bodily and the destructive/passionate impulses of sex extended to objects. I'm not much into this happenings-adjacent era of "anything goes" trash assemblage, but it is interesting the way she smashes the physicality of the nude, whether painted, filmed, or photographed, with the logic of abstraction into a material mode, i.e. The press release is a painful exercise in straining for signification, which doesn't help.Ĭarolee Schneemann - Of Course You Can / Don't You Dare - P.P.O.W. Tina Braegger's bears may feel worn after years of reuse, but this landscape feels like a bad idea from the start and Fourchy is on shakier ground as a formal experimentalist.
