GILLIAN WEARING reflections @regenprojects Well-known for photographic portraits in which she adopts the guise of others as a way of inquiring about the consistency of the self, with reflections, her fifth solo exhibition at Regen Projects, Gillian Wearing focuses our attention on the precarity of perception and self-perception, the constructed reality of pictures of any kind, and the susceptibility of how we see ourselves. Recalling her love of painting as a student, Wearing long wondered how the medium might join her established range of practices, including photography, video, and sculpture. The pandemic lockdowns afforded what seemed like an inifinity of time and the privacy to rediscover the medium without scrutiny as she relearned a once seemingly innate skill. Wearing’s paintings clearly evoke many of her familiar themes. Questions of representation, performance, embodiment, mediation, and authenticity are distinctly realized in a suite that abounds with mirrors, doorways, images of the artist herself, and portals of all kinds. Many contribute to what the artist calls the “Historical Family” series, which features “nods to the past” and to artists “that are more like ancestors.” Wearing’s compositions often draw from the oeuvres of canonical painters, or spirit her into their scenes. “To insert myself into history is to imagine [not only] a different conversation but also [a way to] reframe a work that can mean something to me now,” Wearing wrote upon the appearance of the earliest of these works in Gillian Wearing: Wearing Masks, at the Guggenheim in 2021. The exhibition also features a new photograph in the artist’s “Spiritual Family” series, with Wearing as the Renaissance painter Artemisia Gentileschi (known for paintings such as Judith Beheading Holofernes, 1620) and the video, Wearing, Gillian, 2018, an AI assisted collage of more than fifteen actors—including Wearing herself—digitally aligned into a deepfake exploration of the fluidity of identity.」11月21日 5時51分
