From the organizers: Quint Gallery is pleased to present a new suite of paintings made by Monique van Genderen since a summer stay in Sea Ranch, a beacon of modernist architecture located on Highway 1 in Sonoma County and set between the coast and the Gualala river. In addition to van Genderen's paintings, there will be a short film and documentation of the central painting in progress by Lile Kvantaliani, and an original poem by Jennifer Moxley, responding to the film. "Three works that were made for each other. In support of each other. In reaction to each other. First the painting, then its documentation, then documentation on the person that made the painting. Then the poem, it’s logic is modular, one of response and repetition. The poet mixed up the lines and let the images guide her. Precise and timed, tuned to a moment in mid-August. But anyone can do it. You can do it too. You can say the lines in response to the images, the soundtrack, the person. Two friends from different generations went on a trip. They had in mind to make their own works, using each other’s company, in support of each other’s work. The film was to be about the death of an artist. Maybe it still is. The paintings are also a process of response and repetition. They have images that obstinately repeat, putting the pressure on to remember something that looks like something else. The order is embedded in the process, and the process becomes transparent, closing the loop to make the circle. That circle that entwines friendship, mirroring the self in another’s gaze." -Monique van Genderen Learn more about the artists here.
