Reblog of the day! It is the last week to see Bosco Sodi: Ubi sunt at 545 West 22nd Street. We hope you get a chance to see this show before it closes on Saturday, Feb. 4th.
The title of Sodi’s exhibition, Ubi sunt, is a medieval Latin phrase meaning “Where are…?”, which can be understood as a meditation on mortality and life’s transience. In his catalogue essay, Matters of Memory and Material Intuition, Mark Gisbourne writes that Ubi sunt is an “engagement with a lamentation of what is past brought into the present.” Each of Sodi’s paintings is a summary of his memories and collective experiences, made present by an arduous and direct method of creating that demands his full physical and emotional participation. Ubi sunt is also a concept that reflects the phenomenological experience of Sodi’s art. Gisbourne states that “Sodi’s personal aesthetic view is realised through an arduous physical processing and manipulation of materials. But at the same time further characterised by their being inseparably embedded within the creative phenomenological intuitions that the materials are able to both generate and revivify. It is a personal equation where past and present experiences and associations are brought each time into a unique state of provisional internal unity.” - thru Feb 4th, 2012
