Mariano Ferrante’s “Monocromo” work leaves b

Mariano Ferrante’s “Monocromo” work leaves behind simple geometric relationships to express a more contemporary understanding of real world non-linear influence and complex systems. Monocromo N33/19, for example, looks an even shade of orange when viewed afar. But when viewed up close, the work is made up of four colors (as you can see in the details). The four colors are evenly distributed but are not part of an exact repeating pattern. Ferrante uses methods that though labor intensive and exacting in their application deliberately result in deviation from and effacement of concrete patterns, and these asymmetries and disruptions better allow the viewer to appreciate the works as the result of an imaginative process realized step by step and by hand. Currently on view for the first time are several of Ferrante’s most recent “Monocromo” paintings. #MarianoFerranteStudies #marianoferrante #artprojectsny #geometricabstraction #latinamericanart #MFmonocromo

Nine photogram works by Gwenn Thomas are currently on view in "DUST - The Plates of the Present” — a photographic installation and a collective project initiated by Thomas Fougeirol and Jo-ey Tang — at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France from October 21, 2020 to March 8, 2021. @theplatesofthepresent @centrepompidou

Excerpt from the Centre Pompidou press release:

DUST: The Plates of the Present is a collective photographic archive, initiated between 2013 and 2018 by French painter Thomas Fougeirol and Hong Kong-born American artist and curator Jo-ey Tang. They have invited 136 artists — including photographers, graphic designers, filmmakers, musicians, and writers, of different nationalities, some working in collaboration — to produce a series of 8 photograms in an improvised darkroom, which they named DUST, in Ivry-sur-Seine, France. As a large-scale collective work that constructs an archive in time, DUST: The Plates of the Present pays homage to a vanishing form of image-making as much as it echoes the upheaval in artistic production and collaboration practices with particular resonance in the current pandemic situation.

In 2019, Thomas Fougeirol and Jo-ey Tang donated the complete archive of DUST: The Plates of the Present, comprising 1031 photograms and a video, to the Musée National d’Art Moderne. This exceptional work constitutes an important enrichment to the collection of Musée National d’Art Moderne, where experimental photography occupies a prominent place.

TBT - In 2010, Mariano Ferrante began his "Dynamic Constructions" series and created a site-specific work Construcción dinámica N 4/10 at Fundación PROA, Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2019, Ferrante was commissioned to create his first large scale site-specific work in New York, Transformation N1/2019, part of his Dynamic Construction series, at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church Day School.

"In yet another activation of human perception, Ferrante’s Construcciones dinámicas (Dynamic Constructions, begun in 2010), play with ideas of balance, orientation, and space. These large wall drawings comprise multicolored concentric ovals or lozenges – some of which tilt diagonally – that overlap one another. Together, the forms appear to dance across their surfaces. Or perhaps we are the dancers, moving through an environment that is simultaneously shrinking and growing – carefully measured by the artist, but somehow unmeasurable in our own experience.” — from the catalogue essay by Isabella Hutchinson and Susan Breyer
