Shirly Tse, Anoka Faruqee, and Gay Outlaw Raid Projects, Los Angeles is pleased to present TRIUMVIRATE # 3, featuring works by Shirly Tse, Anoka Faruqee, and Gay Outlaw. The Triumvirate series is generated by Raid inviting one artist to participate in the project. The Selected artist invites a second, and together the pair chooses a third. The trio then generates an exhibition of work 'in conversation' with one another. 'In conversation' may mean that the artists actively collaborate, explore similar aesthetic and theoretical terrain, or simply that they respect each other’s diverse practices. The resulting exhibitions may feature collaborative, complementary or individual projects. Having been constructed within a framework for creative exchange, the results are always rich and unexpected. Shirly Tse sculpts Styrofoam and plastic, assembling pristine works from “filler” material usually associated with packing and shipping. Contending with the material’s stubborn lifespan in relation to its often fleeting use, Tse exposes the innate endurance and flexibility of plastic, as not only a surface but also as a structure. Either hung on a wall or as floor pieces, Tse’s constructions carry the look of utopian science fiction props carefully crafted with a nineteenth century sense of honor and wonder. Anoka Faruqee Paints painting itself in diptychs: one painting created freely by broad brushstrokes, the other in painstaking mimicry, measured at every sixteenth of an inch. Between these two panels lies the interstitial space between analogue and digital, the “original” and the copy. Faruqee’s second panel privileges the digital copy while incorporating its analogue antecedent, exposing these dichotomies to be false, when viewed simultaneously. Gay Outlaw builds sculpture that must be experienced in time: geometrical abstractions that require the viewer to move around them to see various points of view, or ephemeral works using carmel, spun sugar, or fruitcake which melt into puddles, or get eaten by wildlife. Trained as a photographer and pastry chef, her sculptures take on lives of their own to confront viewers with a visceral experience of our own consuming perception. Outlaw lives and works in San Francisco. | |||
