Maja Ruznic in Shadow Tracer: Works on Paper
at the Aspen Art Museum
December 9, 2022—April 2, 2023
Aspen Art Musem
637 East Hyman Avenue
Aspen, Colorado 81611
This exhibition delves specifically into the inherent experimental spirit of drawing. Using fantasy and the subconscious as a point of departure, Shadow Tracer: Works on Paper considers the ways artists express their interior worlds. Placing recent works by Carmen Argote, Naotaka Hiro, Hanna Hur, Jutta Koether, Joshua AM Ross, and Maja Ruznic in dialogue, this show explores how these artists employ the medium of drawing to navigate this theme. These pieces contemplate the intrinsic performative element of drawing, a medium that has the ability to conjure worlds beyond our own with the very physical tools within our own realms. The act of drawing is akin to creating architectural or written plans, which also suggests a kind of potential, giving life to dreams.

Mungo Thomson, Sculptures
at the Aspen Art Museum
December 9, 2022–April 2, 2023
Aspen Art Musem
637 East Hyman Avenue
Aspen, Colorado 81611
Mungo Thomson’s Sculptures is a meditation on the passage of time and ways of seeing through book images. The exhibition presents the artist’s stop-motion animation Sideways Thought (2020–22), laying out French sculptor Auguste Rodin’s (1840–1917) complete works as photographed and printed in art history monographs. The work is the fifth volume in Thomson’s Time Life (2014–22). This series culls imagery from encyclopedias, how-to guides, cookbooks, science books, and other printed material and arranges them at the high speed of a robotic book scanner. Sideways Thought presents image after image of Rodin’s sculptures in rapid tempo. These works are known for their physicality, exposing the human condition in all stages of passion and suffering.
