Natural Law + Ryan Fenchel + Other New Work - THIS FRIDAY!

Haw Contemporary is pleased to announce two exhibitions opening Friday, November 14.

In the large gallery, Natural Law brings together work by Holly Andres, Anthony Baab, Miki Baird, Robert Bingaman, Julie Blackmon, Terry Evans, Corey Goering, Archie Scott Gobber, Bill Jacobson, Michael Krueger, Anne Lindberg, Tanya Marcuse, and Davin Watne. Conceived as a conceptual meditation on change and instability, the exhibition gathers artists whose work traces the delicate tension between structure and entropy.

In the two front galleries, Los Angeles–based painter Ryan Fenchel presents Odd Array, a suite of fourteen new oil paintings that expand his visual language into more dimensional and otherworldly realms. Drawing on principles of Ikebana and a fascination with alchemy, Fenchel composes idiosyncratic floral forms that hover between the familiar and the fantastic.

In addition to the two shows downstairs, all three upstairs galleries will feature new work from: Julie Blackmon, Nate Fors, Justin Gainan, Lisa Grossman, Del Harrow, Shane Lutzk, Marcie Miller Gross, Armin Mühsam, Warren Rosser, Mike Sinclair, Caleb Taylor, James Woodfill, Hong Chun Zhang.

Check the link in our bio for more details, and see you Friday!

#InTheStudio with 2024 Artist-in-Residence Anthony Baab: “The first thing that really started to influence this body of work was these meditations that I was doing during Covid, like a mindfulness exercise that I started doing. And I would get stuck on this idea of what a body part, like my foot, would feel like. So, I’d go into my studio and I would make a drawing. Kind of like, draw the feeling instead of the thing.”

Anthony Baab (@anthonybaab) is an interdisciplinary artist based in New Orleans and was a Spring 2024 Artist-in-Residence at the Joan Mitchell Center. This interview was filmed at the Joan Mitchell Center in April 2024. Learn more about Baab’s work at anthonybaab.com.

This is the last weekend to view
Anthony Baab: Yucky Scenarios

Exhibition Dates: April 13 - May 5

Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays, 12-5 pm

“Yucky Scenarios” depicts imagined moments within the lifespan of a work of art. Born from asking myself: “How does a work of art come to be?” and, “Where does art go when it dies?” I sought to stage and act out these scenarios by constructing three-dimensional models— like dioramas—to be photographed, digitally altered, and transformed into stipple drawings. This notion of explaining art to myself quickly evolved into making art for art, art for me, art about me, art about me and art, and so on…

I started to look at commercials. In particular, ones produced by movie theater companies to be showcased alongside main attractions. These brief adverts parade the typical accoutrements of the theatrical movie-viewing experience— popcorn, soda, film projectors, jazz instruments— coming to life and traversing the space between the audience and image. I used this type of self-referential display to inform and develop my own story about a work of art.

Stippling has its own affiliations with fantasy and gaudy realism. It’s a lowbrow enterprise— the stuff of Fantasia, MC Escher, Alice in Wonderland, high school notebooks and Zap Comics. If surrealism is its friend, Post-minimalism is its foe. Stipple drawings reveal within them an atomic sense of order— a fluid yet divisible form of matter characterized by clusters of dots. Objects appear vibrantly uncertain, as if undergoing a constant physical transformation. It’s a useful tool for illustrating the things we cannot see. In this work, blobs, ogres, explosions, theatre props, and checkered floors re-imagine the artist’s domain as a site for comedy and redemption. It’s a question concerning the stuff of art and its meaning in our lives.

Our second wave of Spring Artists-in-Residence have arrived on campus! We’ll introduce the four new arrivals over the coming weeks.

Here, we’re pleased to introduce and welcome Anthony Baab (@anthonybaab), a New Orleans-based artist and professor at @tulaneart. He will be an Artist-in-Residence at the Joan Mitchell Center through May 10.

Anthony writes: “In my current work, I create ink drawings, 3-D collages, and strata-cut animations that take inspiration from biomedical models, medical diagnostic imagery, and strata-cut claymation. Through these mediums, I aim to capture the sensations I feel in my body and transform them into visual representations using drawings and three-dimensional forms.”

Baab studied Painting and Printmaking at @kcartinstitute before obtaining an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from @cornelluniversity (2009) and @skowheganart (2015). His work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Grand Arts, Haw Contemporary, Antenna Works, and Three Walls and is included in several permanent collections, including The Nelson Atkins Museum, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum, and The Microsoft Collection. Baab’s work was recently included in the book Problems and Provocations (Grand Arts, 2016).

For Anthony Baab, the Joan Mitchell Center residency offers expanded and dedicated studio space for the artist to explore strata-cut animation works for his first international solo exhibition (Mexico City, Summer 2024).

Learn more about his work at anthonybaab.com.
