FABIENNE LASSERRE AT SIKKEMA JENKINS

October 11th, 2010

Come Through including Jessica Dickinson, Emily Do, Sheila Hicks, Ree Morton,Fabienne Lasserre, Siobhan Liddell, and Molly Smith at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. New York

Come Through, an exhibition bringing together seven artists from different generations and varied practices whose processes are structured on chance and uncertainty. “Art,” in the words of Ree Morton, “can be a way of viewing the world rather that merely an object to be viewed.” For these artists, irresolution is a matter of choice – an intuitive self-discipline. They opt for an indirect course to reject the notion of a prescribed outcome. Inconclusiveness comes from necessary reevaluation following change, allowing for contradiction and expansion. Change is consistent and constant. The show explores the uses of the unknown in the works of Jessica Dickinson, Emily Do, Sheila Hicks, Ree Morton, Fabienne Lasserre, Siobhan Liddell, and Molly Smith.
