CARMON COLANGELO: GlocalYocal BY IVY COOPER
In his seminal 1991 book Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, Fredric Jameson describes culture and experience in the postmodern era as being characterized by a delirious depthlessness, reflecting a culture in which object and image have been flattened together into a single sign, and art is largely a matter of pure visual spectacle—as in the work of Andy Warhol, who made photo-silkscreens that transformed celebrities (and other commodities) into glittery visual simulacra. Twenty years later, we find ourselves in an age transformed by the dominance of the Internet, which has taken us beyond flatness and simulacra, and into the realm of the virtual and immaterial. What kind of art can represent a culture largely determined by a global virtual apparatus? As it turns out, it’s not virtual art, or Internet-based projects, which have proven to be exceedingly unsatisfying as visual expressions and unable to maintain critical distance from the subject. What’s called for is a hybrid approach that considers how the virtual interfaces with material form. One finds it in the work of Carmon Colangelo. Take, for example, his astonishing GlocalYocal, a visual statement that deftly transcribes our current cultural delirium onto paper. It’s a scene taking place somewhere in the ether between the real and the virtual: there are stylized clouds or cartoon explosions, evoking Sunday-funnies comics and Japanese Superflat aesthetics. They float against the backdrop of more organiclooking stains and drips representing another layer of atmosphere and another aesthetic—the modernist gestural expressionism of artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis. Held aloft in this indeterminate space are interlocking geometrical forms, the kind you see in Hard-Edge painting as well as origami; then again they appear architectural, like tiles, or floor plans; or they might be metastasizing cells. Lurking somewhere underneath all these layers is a tight linear pattern, like a street map or circuits in a microchip. The title, GlocalYocal, echoes text message linguistic shorthand, and perfectly distills the work’s subject—the nonstop toggle between the local and the global, the microcosmic and the macrocosmic, the individual and the collective.
Postmodern culture has witnessed the erosion of such dichotomies, a development that Colangelo both thematizes and deploys in his work. The works in this series are diptychs, two prints separated by the slightest fissure that partially mirror and partially invert each other’s content. Their titles are similarly unstable oppositions: PublicChoice, LikeDislike, TorchPedestal. The aesthetics of the present meet the styles of the past in a way that suggests continuity over rupture, as in HazeLiberty, where one finds snippets of mid-century modern, Beaux-Arts and manga design. In FlatLogic, depth is indistinguishable from flatness, and gestural marks appear markedly controlled, while hard-edged forms are deployed gesturally. Digital processes cohabitate comfortably with inky analog techniques on a soft support of paper. Paper—the material our culture has tagged for extinction, an inevitable casualty of the digital age. Ironically, paper remains the subject (and object) of many of the strongest recent reflections on our age. What come to mind: the flying paper in Jeff Wall’s 1993 photograph A Sudden Gust of Wind (After Hokusai), and Serkan Özkaya’s 2008 hanging paper installation on the same theme; Elena del Rivero’s [Swi:t] Home: A CHANT (2001-2006), an enormous hanging tapestry of paper detritus collected after the collapse of the World Trade Center; and Thomas Demand’s photographs of paper models based on photographs—allegories of the role of paper in the construction of history. In Colangelo’s work, paper functions on at least three levels: as the carrier of a visual message, a metaphor for materiality, and a representation of the interface between the real and the virtual. Paper becomes hybrid in Colangelo’s hands, as do his subjects, processes, and visual impressions. As statements on the nature of contemporary culture, I can think of none more articulate.

AFTERWORD BY BRUNO L. DAVID 10
I am pleased to present a new exhibition titled “Glocal Diptychs” by Carmon Colangelo at the gallery. Carmon Colangelo’s new work muses about cultural narratives, urban life, human ecologies, globalism, social networking, transcendence, and recording everyday ideas. Glocal Diptychs is a series of nine mixed media prints produced in 2012 at Pele Prints in Saint Louis, U.S.A.. Each of the works is made from a shared matrix and printed on two sheets of paper using monotype, intaglio, relief process as well as hand-coloring. These prints expand on Colangelo’s interest in architectonic forms and the poetics of space with an eye to our changing notions about place and shifts between geographic location and local identity while contemplating a globalized future. Born in Toronto, Canada, Carmon Colangelo received his M.F.A. from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His work has been exhibited widely, from Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. to Argentina, Canada, England, Puerto Rico, and Korea. His works are in collections at the National Museum of American Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Saint Louis Art Museum, and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. He is the Dean of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis and holds the E. Desmond Lee Professor for Collaboration in the Arts. Support for the creation of significant new works of art has been the core to the mission and program of the Bruno David Gallery since its founding in 2005. I would like to thank Amanda Verbeck at Pele Prints for her ongoing support and commitment to provide a printmaking studio in Saint Louis. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Ivy Cooper for her thoughtful essay. I am deeply grateful to Yoko Kiyoi and Christy Kirk, who gave much time, talent, and expertise to the production of this catalogue. Invaluable gallery staff support for the exhibition was provided by, Martin Lang, Christy Kirk, Sophie Lipman, Ashley Milow, and Nicole Fry.
