D IRECTO R ’S FO R E WORD

Art Faculty on Main represents an opportunity to view the amazing artworks of the talented Department of Art Faculty of California State University, Stanislaus. This is the first exhibition in our new facility “Art Space on Main“ located in downtown Turlock. For the last few years, the faculty in the Department of Art have been working on the idea of an Art Center located in our downtown area. With a wonderful collaboration of our community partners the Art Center is finally here. We are extremely excited to have this new space, as it will allow us to expand our exhibition program and allow our dedicated patrons to enjoy the works of talented artists for many years to come. The Art Department Faculty would like to thank the many colleagues and community partners that have been instrumental in presenting this exhibition. We would also like to thank the participating artists for the opportunity to exhibit their wonderful work, David Olivant for the astute essay, the College of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, California State University, Stanislaus for the catalog design and Claremont Print and Copy for the printing of this catalog. We are also grateful and extend our appreciation to the Instructionally Related Activities Program of California State University, Stanislaus, as well as anonymous donors for the funding of the exhibition and catalogue.

In the essay that follows, an attempt has been made to discern common links among the great variety of styles, concepts and media on display in this exhibit and to demonstrate how these intersect with or transgress broader contemporary cultural norms, most notably postmodernism. In its orthodox manifestations postmodernism is seen as an involvement with multi-culturalism, a tendency to conflate high and low culture, a cavalier attitude to tradition, stylistic heterogeneity, the undermining of a stable ego or artistic personality, relativism rather than absolutism, subversion of traditional modes of display or presentation, and locating the source of meaning(s) in the viewer more than the artist or the art object. Gordon Senior was chairman of the Art Department at CSU Stanislaus for six years. A Yorkshireman in central California, he is a culturally displaced artist. For thirty years, he responded to issues in the history of English landscape and agriculture, and utilized in his art the very materials of the landscape. It comes as no surprise that such an artist, in being transplanted to a foreign soil, would grasp the opportunity to use the one environment to comment on the other, or to employ the tools and materials of the new environment for satiric effect. For Gordon, the westward transatlantic move eleven years ago fermented a crisis, albeit a fertile one, in which the meditations on land-use and the sense of placement and connection with the earth were supplanted by a vision of disruption and fragmentation and a poignant sense of loss and even betrayal. We notice a substantial reframing of the significant experiences that inform Senior’s practice. New memories have taken precedence, like the crowded cattle-market, in “Cows and Heads” and in the process the past has been reinterpreted through the lens of the present colored by mass-consumerism and environmental devastation. Land use history has expanded to include a wider human history, a history steeped in greed, squandering and alienation from nature. The work is rescued from propaganda by the deep immersion of these postulations in its very materials and forms. Where symbols are present they emerge directly from the daily encounter with diverse materials salvaged from the earth, not from some dictionary of pre-established meanings. The moral dignity and force of this work is embedded and embodied in this insistent materiality. Equally imbued with material specificity are the wall-sculptures of Dean De Cocker, an artist whose background, education and exhibition activity are strongly rooted in the west coast of California, particularly the LA area. In this work the relationship between production processes and finished article is largely transparent but denuded of any traces of the artist’s activity in a homage to industrial manufacturing techniques. This might place such sculpture squarely within a Formalist aesthetic were it not for the veiled personal associations that come through. Dean’s work operates on two distinct levels. On the one hand it takes quasi-geometrical structures from the immediate environment of factory-built objects and conceptualizes them into purely formal solids, thus purging them of any sense of utility and identity the originals might possess. On the other hand, these forms evoke a subtle range of associations (often nostalgic) connected with meanings present in the objects or production methods that serve as their inspiration. (The fact that the associations are often embedded in nostalgia for World War II military scenarios creates a type of poignancy based on a discord between the essentially comforting nature of rumination on a distant past and its disruption by the distressing content of that past.) In this way Dean’s sculptures read as a sort of confession, where the art reveals something beyond its formalist posture, where irony is at least approached, largely through the tension between the severely impersonal methods of manufacture and the personal associations that seep out despite them. The sculptures of freshly appointed Dan Edwards seem postmodernist to an almost doctrinaire degree and straddle a perilous but exhilarating divide between French Salon art of the mid 19th Century (which most living artists are willing to consign to the also-rans of art history) and the more recent but now flagging resources of Pop Art, supported by the fetishisation of Andy Warhol. A more abrupt collision of high and low culture is hard to imagine and the apparently effortless transference of Dan’s intimidating repertoire of technical resources (skill) from clay and bronze to virtual tools and media has intensified the impact. It is no exaggeration to say that his sculpture fuses the neoclassical composure of someone like Canova with the attention grabbing visual and conceptual gymnastics of Jeff Koons. This impact is clearly visible in his recent for-

6


ays into relief sculpture, which conflate representations of Disney icons with graffiti, other types of signage and all the ancient cultural baggage that goes with low relief slabs. In most of his oeuvre Edwards has sought to systematically deconstruct not just the high-low dialectic and the museum-street dialectic but also the entire edifice of art commerce and publicity. He exploits Sculptris and its software cousins to undermine our confidence in sculptural materials. His image in this publication is deliberately labeled without a reference to its medium and, if questioned on this, he would probably side-step our curiosity and suggest with some diffidence that the medium is currently ink on paper! He has been similarly heterodox about self-promotion to such a degree that his preference for the Associated Press and other national media outlets over any given gallery space as the primary forum for his sculpture reminds us of Murakami whose entire process seems an assault on the norms of promoting art. While David Olivant, currently the longest serving full time studio faculty member in the art department, has spent much of his career acting out the methodology and pictorial dynamics of an Expressionist, always seeking a hidden content, in the last decade or so the emotional urgency of his earlier efforts has been supplemented by an ironic distance and sense of satire. There is almost nothing in his working process that allows for any kind of prediction of the end result and he has indulged corrupted versions of automatism for longer than he cares to remember. Somewhere along the way it seems that the characters, thus extracted from what he hypothesized to be a collective unconscious, have begun to act to all intents and purposes as if they occupied a life outside of the particular picture in which they appeared. In addition they rapidly became aware of the symbolic, archetypal burdens of meanings Olivant was inflicting upon them and either cooperated or rebelled, as their mood suited. His embarrassment at such a usurpation of his role as creator has recently been furthered by the characters’ insistence on pre-empting his symbolic interpretations before they have been fully extracted from the chaos of marks that precedes their inception. This has tended to play havoc with his creative process causing him to all but tear up the Freudian/Jungian script that he has worked with for so long. Works completed in the last five years have wedded sculptures to painted images in a marriage of inconvenience that acts as a metaphor for the ontological questioning and uncertainty of the characters that evolve from this synthesis. We are never quite sure if the characters painted in the illusory pictorial space can escape into the space of the viewer or if others, attempting to exit the viewer’s space, can make contact with those trapped in the picture’s surface. In the art of Jessica Gomula the post-modern hybridization of genre and style is second nature, virtually a reflex, and irony is such a staple item of the artistic diet that it passes through the digestive tract without so much as a hiccup. The computer screen is the melting pot for this cocktail, which I feel perfectly justified in using mixed metaphors to describe! Jessica’s website, until recently, was the most obvious portal through which the neophyte viewer might approach her intermedia projects, Many of these intermedia installations explore the socio-political issues that chaperone sexual intimacy.The layering and stylistic heterogeneity are reminiscent of Polke and Salle, though the mood is sweeter. Significant is the sheer quantity of different media layered into a seamless whole, which underplays, if not suppresses, the irony, as if there could be nothing more natural than the overlay of painted images, video montage, photographic stills, text, and sound. The superabundance of it all seems a spoof on sexual innocence. The sense of nostalgia only sweetens this further and we are cajoled into tacit acceptance of the dichotomy between the pictorial flatness of the animations, the floating montaged sexual nicknames and the modified projection of live video footage of the bemused viewer lost in the installation space. This dichotomy seems symbolic of the central contradiction in Jessica’s work between the casual, gentle humor of the presentation with its ap-

7


parent good-natured innocence and the taboos surrounding the erotic subject matter. It is this dynamic that activates our reactions to works like Sigmund’s Laundry which profiles a lingerie clad performer ironing, silhouetted from one side of a bed sheet. Around her, against a blue background, are floating images of embryos at an early stage of development and lady’s underpants, intermingling in the space of the performer. In the centre of this blue area is a large three-bladed washing machine agitator seen from above. With the recalibration of this artist’s recent focus to a re-imagining of Modesto as something of a cultural Mecca and the inevitable jump in scale and abandonment of a more intimate format, one wonders whether Jessica’s earlier preoccupation with diverse aspects of human sexuality can crawl beneath the radar of local outlook that tends to be conservative, whether indeed it can re-tune this mindset to a more curious and responsive frequency. Subtler allusions to femininity, expanded to include maternity pervade the delicate, understated assemblages of Ellen Roehne. These are invariably made from tiny found objects and illustrations and often named after popular sayings, “don’t count your chickens…”, “be careful what you wish for”.The worlds of childhood and motherhood are somehow conflated as if the innocent vision of the former state is somehow transmitted from child to mother in a reversal of the normal flow of genetic inheritance. This juxtaposition of childhood symbols with loosely anthropomorphic forms that evoke animistic rituals manages to avoid the clichéd collision of cuteness and disgust beloved by adolescents and the much over-hyped Yoshitomo Nara and instead evokes a seemingly endless but fertile chain of associations. Many works, like Head over Heels, feature a peduncular head mounted precariously above an ossuary-like box. Sometimes this contains intestinal mainsprings and has suspended from it a pendulum of sorts in the form of silk-worm, butterfly or child, suggesting novel parallels between the female body and antique clocks. The pendant child hangs from the fallopian tubes that hatch their lifetime ration of eggs with lunar precision and in this sense at least you really could count your chickens before they have actually hatched, as the picture of the girl implies. All of the pieces are legless, if we discount those of the depicted child, but what they lack in ambulatory capacity they make up for in the engine room, prioritizing the complex sequence of transactions: peristaltic, systaltic, osmotic and synaptic that animate the organism over those that merely translate it from point A to point B. The recent work of James Deitz occupies an arresting, though constantly shifting, territory, in which he succeeds in synthesizing memory and observed images in a style that is able at once to preserve the particularities of any experience while also transforming it into an icon stripped to its essentials, often to the point of almost complete abstraction. As a latter-day Saint Anthony, a would-be iconoclast, James has often successfully evicted images from his cave and has watched them slink off with their tails between their legs into the Albertian vanishing point on the distant horizon. It is a Pyrrhic victory however, as the battleground has shifted to the paint itself. The enemy is now incapable of being exorcized, as it is the very stuff from which the painting is made, and by extension physicality, substance itself, the stuff of life. Ultimately the artist must wrestle with the angel of his own materiality through which he is embodied but through which he also perishes. This, I feel, is the ultimate source of Deitz’s ambivalence, of his importance as a painter, of his iconography of doubt. He has embraced influences as diverse as Morandi, Tamayo, Hopper, Guston and Rothenberg along the way. I am sure that it is in some part his ability to straddle the apparent divide between the empirical and the structural or the phenomenological and the archetypal that lends such range and depth to his teaching Tinna Harter Savini shares Deitz’s confidence in the ability of paint to give continued expression to our existential plight and in a manner that accepts the primary resources of modernism as a base camp from which an ascent might be attempted. These two painters seem undaunted

8


by the presence of pioneers like Motherwell and De Kooning who occupy a lofty summit from which the continued assaults of first pop art and now post modernism seem unable to completely topple them. I am in total admiration of their bravery and their self-belief because I have myself retreated from such a difficult path. Tinna, while retaining a sophisticated and nuanced awareness of her connections with other art, has never allowed this to drift towards an ironic or allusion-congested response in the manner of Kitaj or Larry Rivers. Her work constantly risks elegance and in this she is extravagant, continuing to compose in a major key at least with regard to color harmonies, surface texture and a languid, assured linearity consistently eschewing the flamboyant, decorative effects of someone like Sam Francis. For me, Harter Savini continually but unwittingly courts decadence, a fin de siècle over-ripeness, the twilight of abstract expressionism. Her painted, chalked diaphanous veils approximate those of Strauss’s Salome. The work’s tempo is ultra-largo; the interest in Tachisme and oriental calligraphy is exotic in the same way as Salome’s dance music. If Klimt, Rossetti or Knopff had gone abstract they might have done so in a manner that resembles Torchlight Red on Sweaty Faces, not a bad alternative title for Salome’s dance! Tinna’s work is paralleled in some ways by that of Craig Iwo whose accomplishments in diverse media represent the flip side of Orientalist decadence. His complex multi-cultural, multi-media extravaganza is also over-ripe, mixing the languor of Whistler with the histrionics of Boris Vallejo. Superficially considered his productions merge high and low in a manner that has affinities with his colleague Dan Edwards, but the effect is not, in my view, remotely postmodern. Like much recent Chinese painting, by which he has been strongly influenced, the melding of an ancient Asiatic and, largely calligraphic tradition with western modernism has yielded, beneath the assured handling, the complex layered surfaces, the enhanced optical fidelity, an unexpected naïveté. Thus he rightly describes his work as “fantastical” and I am reminded of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. It is as if the Orientalist is forced to take a long, hard look into the mirror and in doing so enters a topsy-turvy world where now the erstwhile mute exotic returns his questioning gaze, converts him from subject to object, from conqueror to conquered and his art from the symbolist reverie of “In Xanadu…” to its glossy re-branding as part of the latest cultural revolution. This is not to say that Craig would endorse this polemic, his own position is uniquely nuanced. His ability to move through the gears of representation, to negotiate nearly the entire repertoire of western and eastern genres, to fuse unlikely episodes in the cultural narrative of each is to be marveled at, but at the same time the flower of my admiration, surely a chrysanthemum, is so perfect that I wonder if it might be made of silk… At first glance the work of a graphic designer/illustrator might be thought to stand apart from many of the issues explored in this essay but, upon closer examination, the work of Chad Hunter responds to the same range of cultural trends that are reflected in the work of his colleagues. In Chad’s illustrations there is a subtle awareness of the contrast between the digital and the manual, most obvious in his use of hand-lettering but also in the informality of his drawing style. Chad adeptly inflects this slight dissonance according to his target audience. In this way a single illustration works on different levels for different members of its audience. For instance in Spring, the lambs and ducks will be read ‘straight’ by children as the cute, cuddly creatures they really are, but an older audience will notice the robotic qualities of the ducks whose emphatic “quack” seems more a deliberate attempt to prove their duckhood than the natural language of a living, breathing waterfowl. These automata don’t really “sing” nor are they particularly “sweet” as the title caption suggests.The disruption is never disturbing, the dominant tone is still playful, but the conflation of childhood innocence with adult circumspection offers an armchair version of the more in-your-face postmodern posturing of contemporary artists like Yoshitomo Nara, Hikari Shimoda, Tang Zhigang or Mike Kelly, all of whom generate dissonance by subverting our notions of childhood and adolescence. Illustration as manipulated by Hunter is a perfect genre for these explorations as compared with most genres, its audience is uniquely likely to consist simultaneously of adults and children, with often the one group reading aloud to the other.

This short essay has tentatively navigated a path through a terrain of differently inflected attitudes to postmodernism: the superimposition of disparate cultures (Senior, Iwo); the contradiction between a factory-formalist aesthetic and the personal associations it evokes (De Cocker); the blatant conflation of high and low and materiality with virtuality (Edwards); the attempt to express the unconscious personality and the sabotaging of that attempt by the supposed inhabitants of the unconscious (Olivant); the absorption of contradiction into the fabric of the artistic statement as a rhetorical norm (Gomula); a re-thinking of our attitudes to childhood (Hunter) and femininity (Roehne); the conjunction of the archetypal and the empirical (Deitz); and of the decadent with Abstract Expressionism (Harter Savini).The severest differences among this group of artists result from whether they choose to suppress or exploit irony and contradiction. All of them share a heightened awareness of the possible range of interplay between process, procedure and product, and it is this more than the historical accident of their resemblance to a given artistic trend that marks their work as contemporary.
