REGISTERED / 2024
“We peer with restless focus / at a drop of pond water or blood /
Something that can only be seen / in infinite slender sections.”
— Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, “March Wind”
White Columns is pleased to present REGISTERED / 2024, an exhibition organized by Brittany Adeline King and Violet Saxon, selected exclusively from the White Columns’ Curated Artist Registry. The Registry, which started in the 1980s as a physical slide library, is now an online platform of digital images documenting the work of some 500+ emerging artists across the world, all of whom are presently without commercial gallery representation in New York.
Focusing on shared sensibilities with an attention towards abstraction, variations in textural/material density and transparency, and slow, often recurrent processes of making, the works in REGISTERED / 2024 incarnate the act of noticing.
An indexical image is a direct record of the physical world that it depicts. The works in this exhibition are indelibly marked by the processes by which they were made. Whether in Michaela Bathrick’s concrete casts from cardboard, Ali Bonfils’ painted distortions of the charts, graphs and diagrams by which we make meaning, Joseph Brock’s idiosyncratic and vivid experimentational universe of color, form and tone, Eleanor Conover’s diaphanous, elegantly bowed canvasses, Donyel Ivy-Royal’s intimate paintings of quotidian life or Ryan Strochinsky’s polka-dot stamped works on torn and repaired wood-mounted rice paper, they wear grooves along the route from idea to object, taking their forms from the experience of coming into existence in the first place.
