Schau Ort is proud to announce INHERE, a solo exhibition by US artist James Hyde. This will be Hyde's third presentation at this address (he exhibited twice before at Elisabeth Kaufmann Gallery). Best known for transformations of abstract paintings into physical objects (e.g. glass boxes, pillows, handles) Hyde's new works involve painting and photography to press upon and open up striking perspectives to world.
Please join us for the opening on June 10, 6 - 9 pm and for the poetry reading by Jeremy Sigler, associate editor of PARKETT magazine, on June 12, 1 pm.

Trunk, 2010, archival inkjet print and paint on wood, 137 x 67 cm (53,9 x 26,4 inch)
Works in the show range from 20 x 25 cm to 214 x 426 cm (8 x 10 in to 7 x 14 ft), consisting of photographs taken by the artist on which he has applied matte or gloss paint. Landscapes, images of trees, clouds, flowers, a singer’s face are occluded by Hyde’s brushwork and geometries. The artist’s photographs, of which some are basic jpgs, some are technical, highly detailed images, have been brusquely adhered to a variety of supports: stretched linen, plywood and chunks of wood that amplify the physical nature of the photographic surfaces. While the printed image tends to camouflage surface qualities, gloss paint reveals the contingencies of surfaces: “As a photographer and painter I’m interested in the material thinglyness of the support and surface of my works.” Thus, these recent paintings investigate with energy the collision of paint on the flat field of a photographic surface. Hyde’s photography and painterly applications have a pragmatic feel to them – they are just photography, just painting – but through the artist’s combinations and collisions an ethereal formalism emerges. Cloudy, 2010, aluminum paint on archival inkjet print on stretched linen, 172 x 220 cm
