MICHAEL PAREKOWHAI / THE MOMENT OF CUBISM / 28 NOV 2009 - 23 JAN 2010 / MICHAEL LETT
A woman being bundled into a taxi
by two men; a lion and a lioness in their cage at the zoo;
the imprint of a hand near Le Corbusier's modular man; the
photograph of Guevara's corpse in a stable, surrounded by a
colonel, a U.S. intelligence agent, a number of Bolivian
soliders and journalists; Watteau's doomed world of
aristocratic elegance; Leger's substantial world; the
interaction between empty space and filled space, between
structure and movement, between the seer and the thing being
seen, in Cubist painting; the equation of art: the artist,
the world, the means of figuration; a gallery attendant
standing at a tall window, gazing down at the animated
figures in the courtyard with a fountain, weeping willows,
benches, statues, old people and women with children; the
loneliness of Czechoslovakia; a demonstration in the Corso
Venezia on 6 May 1898. (Stangos, Regarding Berger, London,
Spring 1970)
