Paris Reid

So what was once imagined is now invented. Reid was raised with the world view that sees in quantum mechanics a kind of modern mysticism, in how it fundamentally embraces the possibility of two or more distinct truths at once. So, while her canvases appear to present one image, one resolution, one possible scenario, they also represent the collapse of many possibilities and many outcomes down into one moment. A moment in which being and doing, nothing and everything, are one and the same and infinitely entangled. Like an unironed Möbius strip. - Excerpt from David Colman’s text on Paris Reid’s exhibition at the gallery Paris Reid Nude 6, 2023 Oil on canvas 60 x 48 inches #parisreid #thejournalgallery #thetenniselbow

The right question is not “Who are you?” It is “Who are you not?” The mirror has not been with us for long. It was only five or six thousand years ago that some creative and industrious soul polished up a flat piece of bronze and voilà—you, only golden. So it’s interesting, that the mask has been part of the human selfscape for at least 40,000 years—and, given that most would have been made out of degradable materials like leather, twine and feathers, probably 40,000 years longer. Perhaps they knew what we do not—your face is a prison, a mask is a key. This basic truth lies at the rock bottom of Ugo Rondinone’s new show of eight stone masks, weighing in between three and 14 kilograms. Elemental and prehistoric in design, they are all different, spaped vaguely like hexagons, ovals, hearts, shields or just a good old-fashioned rocky blob, but they are all visual cousins to the legendary chipped-stone hand axe, the first known human tool. Though mostly the size of a human face, Rondinone’s masks are stonily symbolic, with naught but a pair of blank round eyeholes (albeit with teeny crow’s feet) to suggest a face, and wildly unwearable unless you are very strong and very drunk. - Excerpt from David Colman’s text on Ugo Rondinone’s exhibition, the mask and the masked, on view through September 21. #ugorondinone #thejournalgallery #thetenniselbow Ugo Rondinone the bright + the dim, 2022 Stone 11.5 x 8.25 inches

The island of Patmos is typified by mountainous stretches and ample plateaus, its picturesque coastline dotted with pebbled and sandy beaches. The place has hardly adjusted to the nuances of contemporaneity. Villages and historical architecture remain intact, only partially interrupted by modern developments. This northernmost Dodecanese island is instilled with a rich theological history. Its geography once served as the site of John the Apostle’s exile. It was in the Cave of the Apocalypse where John received his visions of the end and conceived the Book of Revelation. - Excerpt from text on Apocalypse Now by Reilly Davidson @reilly_davidson Apocalypse Now opens tonight at The Old School of Chora on Patmos from 8pm - 11pm and will be open daily thereafter from 8pm - midnight through August 10 #clairetabouret #chloewise #jessiehomerfrench #carolineabsher #nicolewittenberg #willgabaldón #elizabethglaessner #mariannevitale #soumyanetrabile #louiseisner #jomesser #mickeylee #tanyamerrill #thejournalgallery #patmosgreece Thank you @lolitakk 💙🤍
