Exhibition X is a loose examination of collage strategies and techniques across a range of media. Rather than organizing the exhibition from a particular thematic point of view, the curators opted for a messier, open-ended approach to bringing work together under one building. The exhibition itself adopts a collage strategy to the overall process of assembling an exhibition by piecing together elements that may seem disparate but create a balanced whole. Collage is often a pragmatic process, grabbing elements at hand to create unexpected images, a quick technique to upend the more formal elements of Fine Art. The strategies of collage are evident across multiple media and art-making communities since the early parts of the 20th Century. Current trends in collage both embrace digital processes and signal a return to handmade objects. A thing versus a file suggesting a thing. Exhibition X leans into physicality, celebrating the objectness of the object. This is what emerges from artists pasting and assembling pieces of this and elements of that into something that resembles a whole idea.

Holding, Group Exhibition
Van Doren Waxter and Kristen Lorello
23 East 73rd Street, NYC
July 12 – August 18, 2023
Curated by Kristen Lorello
Serpentinas (shreds of broken music), 2023
Dye-sublimation print on aluminum
30” x 24”
Edition of 1 + 1AP
from the series Knotted Spiral
Ann Agee, Emma Amos, Amy Brener, Brianna Rose Brooks, Judy Chicago, Theresa Daddezio, Florencia Escudero, Pixy Liao, Lucia Love, Judith Linhare, Anastasia Komar, Senga Nengudi, Lorraine O’Grady, Tura Oliveira, Sarah Palmer, Mariah Robertson, Jackie Saccoccio, Katy Schimert, Erika Somogyi, Xin Son, Maria Stabio, Jessica Stoller
As a unifying theme, the act of holding serves as an evocative lens where abstract interrogations of the physical and cultural experiences of womanhood are observed. The artists interrogate the role of women as builders, archivists, preservers. The subjects of these works are depicted in a multitude of roles, from carriers of human cultural traditions to vital supports for the natural world. These interrogations of gender and womanhood are as mystical as they are corporeal. Meditative abstract works by artists such as Jackie Saccoccio, Theresa Daddezio, and Maria Stabio will be included in the exhibition alongside figurative works by Judy Chicago, Lorraine O'Grady, and Emma Amos, each of whom express their understanding of gender through an embodied physicality of subject. Twenty-two artists will be included in the group exhibition.
