APT
Gallery, London, presents an exhibition of new paintings by Cath Ferguson.
Rhythmanalysis is borrowed from the title of a collection of essays
by the Marxist sociologist and philosopher Henri Lefebvre and alludes
to his non-linear conception of time and history. The title is an
attempt to say something about how the paintings have been made in
relation to paintings' past; a relation that puts into play repetition
and difference rather than chronological time.
This play of repetition invokes different spatial 'models' at work
at various times in paintings' history. With reference to the likes
of Vermeer, Matisse and Noland as well as more contemporary artists
such as Juan Usle, spatial fragments or sensations become refigured
to form, in each painting, a new composition of heterogeneous spaces.
Through an ad hoc process these spaces emerge, not as a combination
of individual designs that pre-exist their context, but as different
operations which relate to one another through the creation of a singular
visual sensation.
Despite engaging with traditions in painting that include figuration,
the notion of 'abstract relations', rather than perceptual representation,
is fundamental. Although the paintings do not replicate things we
know or can remember, cognition and memory are put in play through
visual sensation which brings together the internal space of the painting
and the world that lives outside of the frame.
There will be an opportunity to discuss some of these issues and others
raised by contemporary painting more generally at a symposium organised
to take place during this exhibition. Space, Time and the Image happens
on Friday 14 May 2010 1pm - 6pm. Participants include John Chilver,
Stuart Cumberland, Bernice Donszelmann, Patricia Farrell, Cath Ferguson,
Andrea Medjesi-Jones, Dan Sturgis, Phoebe Unwin
This exhibition has been supported by The University of Leeds and
APT. Cath Ferguson is represented by Gooden Gallery, Vyner St, London.
