Jeremy Boyle
Hudson Franklin
508 W 26th StHudson Franklin is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Jeremy Boyle. Boyle's new work in various media -- video, drawing, sculpture, and sound -- explores the theme of circulation through pattern and repetition, sometimes literally and other times conceptually.
The exhibition will include a wall-size, site-specific drawing made with Boyle's large spirograph machine. Built out of clear acrylic (or Acrylite), it allows him a multitude of circular patterns adaptable to nearly any wall (a previous wooden version made router-cut patterns in birch). By displaying both the machine and the drawing created with it, he continues a practice of including the viewer in the "how" as well as the "what" of his art.
Four new video works will be exhibited, including a one-channel projection of the artist's head that rotates on a 360-degree screen hanging above the viewer. Inserting himself into this video and another that literally revolves around an image of his whole body, Boyle reminds us that he is part of a circuitry that includes the artworks, exhibition spaces, and viewers.
Also on view will be the latest version of Boyle's (self-playing) guitar. Midi-controlled pneumatics allow him to remove himself as a musician but insert himself as the composer/inventor. Boyle's compositions often circle back upon themselves and are programmed to loop automatically. Leaving a multitude of circuits out in the open, the artist offers the viewer the ability to experience mechanical, sculptural, and aural beauty.
Jeremy Boyle received his M.F.A. from The Ohio State University and is currently an assistant professor of art at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA. His work has been most recently seen at Deadtech in Chicago, IL, and at a mini-tour of performances last fall featuring his (self- playing) guitar and drums. Also in 2007, Boyle created the score for Jennifer Reeder's first feature film, "Accidents at Home and How They Happen," which premiered at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, OH, on March 1. This is his third solo show with Hudson Franklin.
