Barry Flanagan: Film Screening
-
To celebrate the ongoing exhibition of work by Barry Flanagan in the Kasmin Sculpture Garden, Kasmin will be screening three of Flanagan's film works exploring the artist's pataphysical philosophy—or “the science of imaginary solutions,” a concept formulated by the French playwright and author Alfred Jarry.
Though best known for his bronze hare sculptures, Flanagan worked across a diverse range of media. In 1968, he began experimenting with film and the effects of light projection. A trio of his avant-garde films from the period including a hole in the sea (1969), sandgirl (1970), and bollards project (1970) will be available to the public from December 8–13 on the gallery's Vimeo Showcase page. This screening is hosted as part of Kasmin/Verso, a multimedia editorial series that aims to offer deeper insight into the work and practice of the gallery artists.

Elliott Puckette: Unfolding reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail
by Ekin Erkan November 2024Elliott Puckette’s eleventh solo exhibition at Kasmin Gallery, Unfolding, includes two bronze sculptures and eight ink, gesso, and kaolin on wood panel paintings. The latter’s gessoed grounds and ink base layers are applied in marbled monochromatic washes of swirling aniline grey and grisaille silver. Where these iron clouds break, uneven crepuscular cleaves of dusted alabaster light splinter through like lightning. Each work is marked by white razor blade arcs—Puckette’s signature lines. The gyrations of these serpentine, lineal furrows are first etched and then deepened with cross-hatching as Puckette further subtracts the line from the wood panel, the recesses making negative space material. -
