Reisig and Taylor Contemporary is presenting Other Days, a group exhibition with works by Claudia Rega, Frantz Jean-Baptiste, Grant Falardeau, Xiao He, Daniela Soberman, Rudik Ovsepyan, and Sinclair Vicisitud. The exhibition is on view from March 2 through April 6, 2024. The opening reception for the exhibition is Saturday, March 2, 5pm - 10pm. …. Crossing the borders between parallel worlds or alternate realities, the exhibition records gaps in time and space along disorientations of slipping traits, places, marks, figures, and characters. This defamiliarized and distanced (but estrangedly intimate) scene follows frenetic torsions between memory, reality, and fantasy. Simultaneously turning on distinct (art) historical motifs and ambiguous bodily imprints or autobiographical residues, the twists and turns of the exhibition’s chronological pathway recur in the split times, absent events, and divided histories expressively dis/connected by the shifting sculptural and painterly terrain of each work. Initially and ultimately, this paradoxical space of expression is tracked through movements in time and relations between parallel—intimate and close, but perpetually distanced—bodies. But what does it mean for an artwork to be “expressive,” “expressionistic,” or for an act to be “expressively” carried-out? What does it mean for a thought, feeling, or figment to be effectively communicated or conveyed? Unlike the dualistic “inner” and “outer” spatial trajectory—from inward feeling to outward realization—traditionally setup by expressionist modes of painting and sculpture, the expressive practices encountered in this exhibition operate at the border between insides and outsides, between depths and surfaces, between sleeping and waking. Without preserving any certain, stable sense of interior or exterior, the works remain undecidably at their limits, at the horizon between bodies—between night, and other days. Claudia Rega.
