Curated by Artuner, the project presents work by the two artists, which will explore ‘symbolic detritus’ that characterizes the afterimage, both physically and digitally. Looking at the medium of painting, and its relationship to future technologies, the show immerses itself in the reproductions of lenses, sensors, chips and screens.
Outside of that there are some other things running concurrently, including Art Basel-begun and “rigorously curated, boutique event” VOLTA NY, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, and Paul Kneale + Toby Ziegler’s After Image at Cassina Projects, which started on February 28 and is running to April 15.
Below are some artists and exhibitors to look out for, if you’re headed to any, or all of the main events:
At NADA New York there’ll be a solo presentation by Jacolby Satterwhite at Los Angeles’ Moran Bondaroff, Siebren Versteeg at bitforms, as well as Signal in New York, and Moscow-based video art collective AES+F presented by New York’s Transfer Gallery in collaboration with Bucharest’s Mobius Gallery.
