New York: 24th Street
Gladstone is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Rosemarie Trockel. For over thirty years, Trockel has disputed the fixed nature of representation through her work, exploring meaning as an ever-shifting construction through the myriad forms that comprise her practice. Though Trockel has consistently resisted an explicit stylistic signature, certain recurring themes weave throughout her oeuvre, most notably notions of female identity and feminism, the disjunction between fine art and craftsmanship, and the varying presence or anonymity of the artist traceable in a physical object. Displacing materials from their original context and using them as both medium and art form, Trockel brings forth aspects of the unknown, the humorous, the surprising, and the bewildering in her knit works, ceramics, sculptures, drawings, videos, and collages.
