BENJAMINSEBBANGALLERY | 2b rue Saint Georges | 1050 Brussels, Belgium
In 1923, after (un)finishing work on The Large Glass in New York, Marcel Duchamp ‘abandoned art’ and returned to Europe. Duchamp relocated to Brussels, spending a period of eight months immersed in the study of chess.
Sept 8th - Oct 20th, 2017 Project Space 57W57Arts, New York
In the Project Space, British artist Tom Hackney will present Open Ground, a new collection of monochrome paintings included in his ongoing series, Chess Paintings (2009-present). These monochromes are comprised of gesso or primers, paints that traditionally lie beneath a visible surface, where structural materiality takes precedence over an observable aesthetic. The works in this series are an examination of the challenges posed, particularly to painting, by Marcel Duchamp’s designation of a non-retinal art.

Tom Hackney’s works are directly related to Marcel Duchamp’s concept of the ‘instantaneous state of rest’ but in a style of painting characteristic of the Zürich Concrete artists, not only giving the idea of ‘movement’ a new dimension but also embracing a fruitful reason for the appropriation or reanimation of abstract painting today.
FORMWORK inaugurates a series of two-person exhibitions hosted by dalla Rosa with the aim of creating a dialogue between artists that have not previously worked together but share similar interests and influences. George Charman and Tom Hackney are both based in London and have been exploring the possibilities of concrete while developing other sides of their practices, specifically drawing (Charman) and painting (Hackney). The fascination with materials and processes is a clear trait d’union that runs through their work, together with an interest in perception modelled on grids and repetition.
