Vernon Fisher, The Long Road to Nowhere
Jenny mentioned this bloke today – seems a wonderful reference for me. Excerpts from the press release:
“disjointed streams of consciousness and the non-sequiturs of modern psychology"
“investigates the fluidity of the mind at work with endless fascination and a comic’s sensibility”
“preoccupation with archive, information transmission, memory, and taxonomy”
“blackboard paintings recall pedagogical lessons or speculative renderings, oftentimes replacing sequential logic with "disordered notations"”
“literary references, pop cultural imagery, and cartography with his own symbolic lexicon [...] renounces the convention of a singular, autonomous narrative in favor of a seemingly endless metonymic chain.”
"often contextualized within a postmodern lineage, Fisher's work shares affinities with Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg”
Frances Colpitt's monograph essay for Vernon Fisher produced for Vernon Fisher: K-Mart Conceptualism, his career retrospective at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
