"Because I come from the earth's inside" : Kara Springer
​
Borrowing from Audre Lorde’s poem “Coal,” the exhibition’s title reflects on Springer’s ongoing confrontation with the precarity of systems that undergird our relationships to one another and to the land we occupy, while positing the possibility for transformation, revision, and renewal. Springer considers the parallel impact of broken systems on black and brown bodies and inhabited lands, offering sites of familial and collective memory as spaces for potential liberation. Drawing from the archival matter of her maternal lineage, Springer “…employs several layers of abstraction in the work (in addition to the chromatic inversion, the extreme magnification of the images factors here) as a means of confronting, with the materials at hand, the phenomenological dilemma of the Body that produces its Appearance, which in turn produces its Idea, which in turn produces its Name.”2 Using repeated images that echo throughout the gallery in series and mirrors, Springer urges sustained, if not deeper, looking at the work on view, proposing that restructuring reality is perhaps the most productive place from which to begin making meaning.

​
Fridman Gallery and Rachel Uffner Gallery are honored to announce A Brush in the Universe, a solo exhibition by Ethiopian painter Hana Yilma Godine spanning the two galleries. This is the second time the galleries are collaborating to present Godine’s work, having jointly organized A Hair Salon in Addis Ababa two years ago. The dual exhibition will bring together Godine’s new paintings of women occupying spiritual, imagined spaces that fuse earthly and otherworldly landscapes. Godine presents her mythical, larger-than-life women in conversation with the universe – mountains, rivers, oceans, plants, animals, birds.

As Santín looks toward the future he endeavors to raise the level of complexity, coloration, and design. Much like robotic surgery, his innovative machines allow for fine control and placement of paint while Santín remains in command. The resulting paintings technically, and conceptually, are well-calibrated, intentional, and forward-thinking. Join us for Antonio Santín's exhibition on January 13th, 2024 from 3-7pm.

"tenterhooks" : Ernesto Burgos, Masaya Chiba, Anna K.E., & Pauline Shaw
​
An object becomes untethered from its physical form. The ball rolls upwards against gravity, the brain floods with forgotten synapses, and paper crumples outwards, unfurling, as an empty swimming pool takes flight. The memory of its original state is precarious; matter itself tensing and stretching its disobedient edges.

"12:21 Solstice" : 37 artists 63 works, including painting, drawing, lithography, photography and video
​
This group exhibition is a wunderkammer, a shifting parade of fantastic objects and artists. Populated with works by historical painters such as Marsden Hartley and Bob Thompson, young artists Kayla Edmonston and Marcelle Reinecke and even those working in their 90s including June Leaf, Stanley Rosen, and Paul Resika, this exhibition takes the gallery’s view that art history, both historical and contemporary, is a shifting panorama. Individual artists become newly validated by serious viewers upon progressive researches, beyond market trends. In that regard we present painters who have been part of our projects since the early 80s, such as Andrea Belag, Gregory Botts, Richard Morrison, L. Brandon Krall, Glenn Branca, Christopher Wool, Barbara Ess and James Lee Byars. Subsequent decades of discovery have brought us to Peter Acheson, Gideon Bok, Chuck Bowdish, Gandy Brodie, Susanna Coffey, Angela Dufresne, Mary Flinn, Kurt Knobelsdorf, Sangram Majumdar, Giordanne Salley, E.M. Saniga, Kyle Staver, Abigail Dudley. Despite our focus on painting, the gallery also includes ceramics. Here, Beth Kaminstein, Catherine White and Elise Siegel make appearances. The work in 12.21 Solstice is a triumph of individual creative efforts in the midst of the most daunting circumstances of daily life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. We welcome you to come and celebrate with us.

"Wire Crown" : Ruben Burgess Jr.
​
Ruben Burgess Jr. (b. 1992), is a multidisciplinary artist, whose work is rooted in sculpture and line drawings. The integration of found objects and natural resources introduces a darker reflection of human life. The dialogue between mediums communicate his common themes of tension and reprieve. Each work holds a loose balance in shape, texture, and function, creating a visual harmony of delicacy, strength, softness, and darkness. His sculptures are held together through the safety of simple physics, and visualized through the push and pull of fine lines and their relation to gravity. He presents lightness with weight, and soft objects formed in hard materials. In Burgess’ fine line drawings and paintings, his adept background in the sartorial exposes a fragility to life, like the threads we wear in relation to our human form. From the industrial to the tensions of domestic life, Burgess utilizes various materials to capture an uneasiness that a line could snap at any moment, that all of the things we hold on to are inherently ephemeral.

"Knot Theory" : Lucy Soni
​
British artist, Lucy Soni is inspired by the idea of control versus chaos. Her compositions start as small scribbles on paper and communicate a sense of urgency. Through tracing, enlarging, repeating, and layering, Soni transfers these forms to large scale canvases. This process produces carefully balanced paintings which unite impulsive mark making and high art.
