525 W 22nd St Karin Sander Mailed Painting, NR.45, Bonn-Berlin-New York, 9/7/07-9/13/07 (2007) |
The Mailed Paintings along with Gebrauchsbilder (pictures for use) are projects that are part of a larger body of work titled The Patina Paintings. In Gebrauchsbilder the paintings that started out as blank canvases have autonomously created themselves by absorbing the patina of the environment where they were hung for a period of time, such as a coal cellar or deck of a ship. In a similar way, Mailed Paintings collected patina from being exposed to the elements and handling along their postal route and were considered done when they arrived at the gallery.
The monochromatic white surfaces act as screens that record the journey of the work. This process that embraces chance and risk points to the larger conceptual practice of Karin Sander, who always operates in the extended field of painting by putting an emphasis on the environment of the exhibition and the circumstances surrounding it, like in her well-known polished wall pieces. The collected patina on the Mailed Paintings exaggerate and mirror the effect of the passage of time on the surface of the canvas, and her installation in the gallery brings to mind many chapters of the history of pushing the limits of painting from Suprematism to the ready-made Appropriation.
In 2007 Karin Sander was featured in a group exhibition titled What Is Painting? at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. In 2006 Karin Sander had a solo exhibition at SAFN, Reykjavik, Iceland. Her work has been shown at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY, NY; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; and Kunstmuseum Stuttgart Germany among many others.
Art Reviews of Karin Sander 2007
| New York Times October 26, 2007 | Karen Rosenberg | "...The Warsaw painter Adam Adach spent three months living and working in the Bronx, drawing on his own photographs of the area, as well as on newspaper clippings detailing major events in Europe. His imagery veers from meditative portraits of children hefting stones on the beach to a masked protester hurling rocks during the most recent G8 summit...." |
