PRESS RELEASE

Arnold Helbling, “Drop City”

In a departure from his signature style paintings of deconstructed apocalyptic spaces, in which abstract forms and recognizable images collide in a vast, ecstatically colorful, almost hallucinatory environment, Arnold Helbling’s most recent paintings move into more calm, contemplative territory. In these new works, the apocalyptic storm has passed, and temporary shelters have been put up – an architecture of cohabitation in a post-consumer society has been negotiated. Isolated cell-like structures – a tree-house, a shed haphazardly put together out of recycled windows, makeshift igloos, a leftover utility structure on top of an otherwise demolished office tower – take center stage. However, these temporary structures and alternative forms of living themselves face decay, challenged by interference from nature, from reality, as if these dreams of personal escape or collective utopia are bound to collapse. The individual struggle is everywhere present in these paintings, but the human being is absent: instead, the viewer is invited to take on the role of the main protagonist, the dweller, contemplating the various scenarios.

Craig Drennen: Awful Inside Saltworks, 2012

Performance, 2 hours; at Saltworks, Atlanta, GA.

Timon of Athens is an unfinished Shakespeare play that was never produced during his lifetime. In it, the wealthy Timon gives away all of his money to his friends, who then turn against him when he needs their help. Artist Craig Drennen was attracted to the play’s obscurity and to the title character, who becomes misanthropic, writing in his own ambiguous epìtaph, “Here lie I, Timon, who, alive, all living men did hate.” Four years ago, Drennen began to use the play as the conceptual framework to make artworks that represent a defining characteristic of each character’s personality. ln 2007, he made paintings depicting the plays Mistresses as lush pink anuses, and in 2008 he painted the Flattering Lords as daisies, a pretty if common flower.

See more images from the exhibition.

“When a society is growing, car design is mostly square with clear angles and big shapes.”
But: “90° square angles don’t exist in nature, they are man’s idea and desire. Even a squared building isn’t really 90°.”
At the same time: “Man crosses earth’s horizon at a 90° angle.”
But: “Man is 90% water.”
And: “Bilingual children are good at multitasking.”
Recent studies show that “serotonin hormone manufactured by your brain is the cause of belief.”
“In the 14th century after an investigation, the church official declared the shroud a fake. While it was on display, it had to be said in a loud voice that this wasn’t an actual relic of Christ. After centuries of conservation, the Catholic Church decided to withhold its judgment on the actual authenticity of the object, stating that, authentic or fake, it had no relevance to the Christian faith.”
But: “When Superman puts on his glasses, no one recognizes him as Clark Kent, though it is obvious that he is the same man.”
And: “From the sky we can see the Belgian freeways.” *
*I might have misquoted.
