LAUNCH F18 is pleased to present Isometric Blindness, a solo exhibition by artist Adam Stennett. The new work continues Stennett’s exploration of perceived reality, utopia, dystopia, and the human condition. It includes vague references to historical atrocities, corruption, and absurdly criminal failures committed by governments, institutions, corporations and individuals. “Miracle chemicals” are marketed as saviors. Humans and animals are dusted with glee. Water supplies are tainted. People drink poison for decades. Profit above all else. This is a continuing story and not an isolated event. It is a system of skewed priorities that rolls over us like heavy clouds.

The main gallery space contains an immersive installation involving water, objects, video, and sound, partially inspired by a transcendental bout of Montezuma’s Revenge the artist experienced during a trip to Mexico back in February. This overwhelming reaction of the body, coupled with witnessing dead turtles strangled by vast swaths of rotting Sargassum, helped to set the tone for the creation of this work.

An adjacent, secondary space features black and white, hyperreal paintings on paper. The imagery includes flowing dark water echoing the video projection in the main space along with still life paintings and Xerox copies depicting historically significant, and culturally charged objects. The imagery alludes, with a continuing dark humor, to the shortsightedness and futility of humans in general. The failures that repeat themselves, circle around indefinitely, and appear to be the inevitable destiny of humanity.

In a third small space that doubles as the office for the gallery, the poignant video work Four Minutes Fifty-Two Seconds of Breathing (completed in April of 2020 during the first month of the lockdown) can be viewed in a more intimate setting on a flat screen with headphones.

Adam Stennett was born in Kotzebue, Alaska in 1972, grew up in Oregon and lives in Upstate New York. Stennett explores notions of utopia/dystopia through painting, video and multimedia works including a recent endurance performance at Pioneer Works called the Arctic Artist Survival Shack. His work is included in numerous public and private collections and has been widely exhibited in both, national and international exhibitions at venues including Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Portland Art Museum, the Chelsea Art Museum, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, The National Arts Club, as well as at a variety of established galleries. Stennett's work has been reviewed and featured in publications such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Sun, Frieze, Art In America, Bomb Magazine, Contemporary Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, BlackBook, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and Esquire among others. Stennett has lectured and participated on panels as an artist at Georgetown University, School of Visual Arts, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, New York Film Academy, Hunter College, and Willamette University. Stennett was a founding faculty member of School of Apocalypse that began at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn in 2016.

Hours: Tuesday through Friday 10am - 5:30pm, Saturday 11am - 3pm Or by appointment

Adam Stennett presents new oil paintings and works on paper at Gallery Poulsen from May 26- June 30.

In his first one-person exhibition in Copenhagen, Stennett expands his exploration of the human condition both in terms of scale and the imagery of the work. In some of the largest paintings he has created since 2007, Stennett envelops the viewer in a liquid world of reflections, refractions, distortions, and light. These hyperreal paintings play with ideas about inner and outer perception and duality. We need water to live but it can also kill us. It can instill calm but also panic. It can be beautiful and soothing but also treacherous. Clean water has become, more and more, a commodity. When figures are present they interact with the water in ways that are open-ended allowing for multiple and complex readings. A series of smaller but dynamic, black and white works on paper occupy the back gallery and play off the larger, color oil paintings in the main space.

Humans, throughout history, have been intrigued by the depth of water, and its reflective, distorting, and ever-changing qualities. Water has generated myths about its ability to induce visions, open portals, and expand the normal limits of consciousness. Water has been seen as bridge between physical and spiritual and has been associated with contemplation. This new series of paintings is, among other things, a meditation on that history.

Adam Stennett was born in Kotzebue, Alaska in 1972, grew up in Oregon and lives in New York. Stennett explores notions of utopia/dystopia through painting, video and multimedia works including a recent endurance performance at Pioneer Works called the Arctic Artist Survival Shack. His work is included in numerous public and private collections and has been widely exhibited in both, national and international exhibitions at venues including Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Portland Art Museum, the Chelsea Art Museum, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, and The National Arts Club as well as at a variety of established galleries.

RECENT CURATORIAL PROJECT

Aneta Bartos. Scythe. 2016. C-Print, 20 x 20.4 inches. Edition of 5+2AP

In Aneta Bartos’s newest project, Family Portrait, she explores the father-daughter relationship and memories of growing up in Poland with her competitive bodybuilder dad. The results are simultaneously strange, seductive, unsettling and humorous. The artist poses with her speedo-wearing father in various dreamlike scenarios that walk the line between David Lynch and Balthus or Nabokov. These complex self-portraits create layers of possible meaning and draw the viewer into a world of beauty and precise confusion. Alternating between color and black and white, the images feel like photographs from the back of the retina. The work reflects and reveals through playfulness and intrigue but holds back just enough to keep the viewer guessing. Family Portrait takes the lucidity of the self-portrait and infuses it with the surreal darkness and mystery of memory. Images of a unique father-daughter relationship become a window into a beautiful, mystical, compelling, and unnerving world. Adam Stennett

Aneta Bartos was born in Poland and moved to New York City where she attended The School of Visual Arts. Most recently her work was shown at The Art Show 2016(ADAA), Photo London 2015, and Spring/Break Art Show 2015. Earlier in 2015 she participated in Pheromone Hotbox at Steven Kasher Gallery. In 2013 she exhibited her project titled Boys in a solo show curated by Jon Feinstein at the Carlton Arms Hotel, New York. Recent group exhibitions include Contemporary Practice at The New Hampshire Institute of Art, Manchester; Women at Suzie Gallery, Tel Aviv; Gilded Forest at Kasher Potamkin Gallery, New York; and 31 Women in Art Photography, curated by Natalia Sacasa and Jon Feinstein at Hasted Kraeutler, New York.

Aneta's work has been reviewed and featured in New York Magazine, Modern Painters, Interview Magazine, Libération, Photograph Magazine, Time Out New York, W Magazine, Vice Magazine, Elephant Magazine, Secret Behavior Magazine, as well as online publications such as Artforum, Artinfo, Hyperallergic, Art in America, Modern Painters Daily, The Huffington Post and Time among others.

ARCTIC ARTIST SURVIVAL SHACK PROJECT

February 1 - 29, 2016

Adam Stennett delved into installation and performance with The Artist Survival Shack Project in 2013. During his residency at Pioneer Works Stennett raised the level of difficulty and explored new materials and challenges with a dead of winter version called The Arctic Artist Survival Shack Project. The Arctic Artist Survival Shack served as a proving ground for alternative systems of physical survival, spiritual survival and creative expansion. Stennett lived and worked in the 10'x10' self-designed shack outdoors at Pioneer Works during the (historically coldest) month of February. Systems implemented included solar, wind power, water collection, water filtration, vermiculture composting of waste and dumpster foraging. The supplies, food and water Stennett arrived with was all he had access to. He did not spend any money or enter any buildings other than the shack. His mission was to survive physically and spiritually, and to create. During his one-month stay Stennett offered Sunday workshops demonstrating and teaching some of these systems for survival as a part of School of Apocalypse (founded in 2015 by Stennett, Catherine Despont, Tal Beery and Eugenia Manwelyan)

ADAM STENNETT: SURVIVAL PAINTINGS

February 11 - March 31, 2016

Adam Stennett's Survival Paintings were created during his original endurance performance, Artist Survival Shack in August of 2013. Living and working in a 6.5 x 9.5 foot, off the grid shack hidden in a field in Eastern Long Island, the project was a study in what was necessary for an artist to live and thrive. The paintings depict the objects and systems he built and used over the course of the performance.

Naturally Hypernatural: Visions of Nature is an interdisciplinary conference investigating the fluctuating "essences" of "nature" and the "natural" in the 21st century. Each of these terms carries with it an enormity of philosophical questions ranging from the alteration of life itself to dialogues concerning the notion of the Anthropocene, a term used to describe man's intervention into the natural world. The talks presented here will focus on contemporary issues in the visual arts as they intersect with the biological and geological sciences, confirming that nature remains an intrinsically mysterious, ever more mutable entity. At the present time, cellular parts are being remixed in laboratories to create synthetic organisms while geological transformations are forecasting wild swings in weather conditions. Human reproduction regularly occurs in Petri dishes while cucumbers are grown in space. The artificial and the natural now combine to form novel entities, never before seen on earth, while animal species dwindle down to extinction every day. Animals and plants are exhibited as contemporary art, while the real is conflated with the imaginary. Technological advances and their theoretical undertones have migrated into art practice producing New Media installations, Bio Art exhibitions and a global community of art practitioners adapting novel productions to cultural resources. In addition, visual art has become a social practice platform with projects that intersect with urban farming, DIY biology and extremes in performance art. Naturally Hypernatural: Visions of Nature brings together artists, historians, curators, philosophers and scientists to examine and comment on these ideas.

In addition, there will be an exhibition of work by students, alumni and faculty, generated through SVA's Bio Art Laboratory, the first of its kind in the U.S.A. http://bioart.sva.edu/

ADAM STENNETT: KEEP MAKING ART
Friday, September 26, 2014. The lecture begins promptly at 7:00pm
Sponsored by the Department of Art and funded through the Hogue-Sponenburgh endowment

This event is open and free to the general public

Adam Stennett is a conceptual artist whose work has variously addressed such themes as the pervasiveness of big pharma, urban displacement, government sponsored secret projects, fear and survival in a post 9/11 world, and the ramifications of living in a complex present that have all served as catalysts for his explorations and commentary on contemporary 21st century global society. His oddly prescient series' of art works manifest themselves in a variety of media that span the realms of painting, sculpture, installation, performance and video. Stennett's art practice is characterized by his highly detailed, exquisitely rendered, long-term investigations of institutional ideas generated through history and their impacts on the collective psyche of the American people.

Stennett was born in Kotzebue, Alaska in 1972 and graduated from Willamette University in 1994 with a double major in Studio Art and English. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. His work is included in numerous public and private collections and has been widely exhibited in both, national and international exhibitions at venues such as Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Portland Art Museum, the Chelsea Art Museum, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art and The National Arts Club as well as at a variety of established galleries.

Stennett's work has been reviewed and featured in publications such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Sun, Frieze, Art In America, Bomb Magazine, Contemporary Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, BlackBook, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and Esquire among others. Stennett has lectured at Georgetown University, the School of Visual Arts (SVA), and the New York Film Academy as well as participating on panels as an artist.

Past lecturer/particpants sponsored by the Department of Art for the Hogue-Sponenburgh Lecture Series at Willamette University include such distinguished luminaries as: Marcia Tucker, Founder and former Director of the New Museum of Contemporary Art; Fred Wilson, Conceptual Artist, MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant recipient and Whitney Museum trustee; and Lucy Lippard, internationally respected writer, art critic, activist and curator.
