About this Event

https://www.artartefact.com/collections/gabrielle-teschner-myths #artartefactArt/artefact is pleased to present its inaugural exhibition, Myths, a collaboration with Gabrielle Teschner featuring recent work by the artist complemented by objects of contemplation and a floral sculpture by Rhea Calpeno curated by Audra Kiewiet de Jonge, art advisor and founder of Art/artefact. Teschner’s work is presented in partnership with Reynolds Gallery.
Art/artefact is an intimate exhibition space in the home of its founder with art and antiques at the heart of a contemporary aesthetic. By bringing art out of the gallery and into a living environment, Art/artefact creates a conversation with objects to live and be inspired by through seasonal installations in collaboration with guest artists.
MYTHS
April 19 - May 6 by appointment
At first glance, the series of paintings by Teschner readily recall floral studies, but their subjects arose intuitively from memory. These paintings are presented for the first time alongside Teschner’s sculptures-that-are-flat, architectural constructions built from ink-brushed cotton muslin joined by thread. It also marks the debut of a new series of labyrinthine sculptures inspired by this collaboration. The juxtaposition of the two bodies of work illustrate Teschner’s unique ability as an artist to sculpt in two dimensions and conceptually explore the properties and illusions of volume as a sculptor. The exhibition title, Myths, and the titles of each painting, invoke the kernels of truth and doubt present in every memory and mythical elaboration.
Teschner’s work is complemented by objects of contemplation curated to evoke the feeling of wonder and spirit of questioning all too often absent from contemporary life and to place the viewer of her work in conversation with the exercise of wondering and questioning that is so central to her artistic practice. This feeling is further expanded upon in a site-specific installation of an ephemeral aerial sculpture by floral artist Rhea Calpeno.
