Matt Connors "Complaints III" @ Cherry and Martin (2732)




Not given much time to view this work properly (read: slowly as I typically would) due to a just after-hours generous staff accommodation, I was forced to take this in more like a painting, one holistic view of a single dimension. Somehow this seemed fitting as it pertains to Connors' work which is a painting practice that seems to often account for, at some level, the conditions of the space of presentation.  While the work installed drew attention to the contours of the exhibition space with a display of color that seemed arbitrary (what I liked best in some sense), I was also taken, not surprisingly, by how such a discrete installation brought attention to the subtlest of lighting conditions, something no camera could enjoy, certainly not one small enough to fit in my front pocket.
