Genevieve Cohn: Tracing Shadows

（November 12 - December 3, 2022）

Genevieve Cohn：追踪阴影

展览介绍

陈述

Hashimoto Contemporary 很高兴推出波士顿艺术家 Genevieve Cohn 的个展“Tracing Shadows”。该展览将是科恩在桥本当代美术馆的首次个展。

Tracing Shadows 讲述了一个存在于想象世界中的女性社区的故事，在这个世界中，她们只为地球绕轴旋转一圈而活。建立在这个想象的神话之上，画中的人物试图记录一种光，这种光在它溜走之前只会经历一次。生活在一个拥有这种独特的光体验的世界中，女性致力于更好地了解她们的世界和构建它的系统。在许多画作中，女性被描绘为引用、追踪或记录影子。影子最终转化为比太阳更坚实、更触手可及的体验，提出了真理与现实的问题，思考了真理与现实的结合点和分离点。

科恩的灵感来自各种来源，植根于女子陆军、女巫和巫术的历史和意象，以及文学小说。柏拉图的洞穴寓言、伊塔洛·卡尔维诺 (Italo Calvino) 的完整宇宙漫画、维克托·斯托伊奇塔 (Victor Stoichita) 的影子简史和艾伦·莱特曼 (Alan Lightman) 的爱因斯坦之梦短篇小说也塑造了这部作品。

Tracing Shadows 讲述了一群人的共同经历，以及质疑、记录和理解这种共同经历的尝试。在这个想象的宇宙中，出生在一天中不同时间的女性创造了共同的知识和传统，因此那些出生在光明中的女性可以从前人离开的地方开始，讲述我们人类讲故事的历史和对科学实验的兴趣。

关于她的作品，这位艺术家说：“我的画作通过从历史和想象的过去、现在和未来中汲取灵感，投射出可能的女性社区。我的画承认并反映了一个世界，在这个世界中，力量来自合作、自我赋予的力量以及与自然世界的联系。我将收藏、装饰、美感和选择的理念视为我作品世界中的人物构建的空间，这些空间包含了仪式和实践的理念。”

请于 11 月 12 日星期六下午 6 点至晚上 8 点参加我们的“追踪阴影”开幕式。艺术家将出席。

Biography

Statement

Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Tracing Shadows, a solo exhibition by Boston-based artist Genevieve Cohn. The exhibition will be Cohn’s inaugural solo presentation at Hashimoto Contemporary.

Tracing Shadows tells the story of a community of women that exist in an imagined world, in which they only live for one rotation of the earth on its axis. Building on this imagined mythology, the figures depicted in the paintings attempt to record a light that will only be experienced once before it slips away. Living in a world that has this unique experience of light, the women dedicate their life attempting to better understand their world and systems that structure it. In many of the paintings, women are depicted referencing, tracing, or recording shadows. The shadow is ultimately transformed into an experience that is more solid and tangible than that of the sun, raising questions of truth vs. reality, contemplating the point where truth and reality come together and where they break apart.

Pulling from various sources, Cohn’s inspiration is rooted in the Women’s Land Army, the history and imagery of witches and witchcraft, and literary fiction. Plato's Allegory of the Cave, The Complete Cosmicomics by Italo Calvino, A Short History of the Shadow by Victor Stoichita and the short stories of Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman also shaped this body of work.

Tracing Shadows speaks to the shared experiences of groups of people, and the attempts to question, record and understand that shared experience. In this imagined universe, the women born at different times of day create shared knowledge and tradition, so that those born later in the light can begin where those before them left off, speaking to our human history of storytelling and interest in scientific experiments.

About her work, the artist states, “My paintings project possible communities of women by drawing from both a historical and imaginative past, present, and future. My paintings acknowledge and reflect a world where power is derived from collaboration, self-endowed agency and connection with the natural world. I consider ideas of collection, adornment, beauty, and choice as the figures within the worlds of my work construct spaces that engage ideas of ritual and practice.”

Please join us Saturday, November 12th from 6pm to 8pm for the opening of Tracing Shadows. The artist will be in attendance.
