MARFA INVITATIONAL

KARL HAENDEL
‘Questions for Marfa’

Installed in Marfa, Texas at the home of Marfa Invitational Founder Michael Phelan

Entitled ‘Questions for Marfa’, Haendel’s installation posits twenty-five questions, each wrought with a seemingly insurmountable opposition: a concrete presentation that can only elicit an abstract response. Conflating two ways of navigating the world that often feel at odds, the work resided in the space between the spiritual and the rational, using definitive language to describe impressionistic thought. While in a way a kind of travel document, sharpened by context and the artist’s individual internal meanderings, the texts belong to a larger search for answers to questions about choice, purpose, belief, desire, success and failure – ultimately, about the nature of happiness.

Karl Haendel was born in 1976 in New York and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He received his BFA from Brown University in 1998 before attending the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He received his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2003. His work has been included in recent biennials and institutional group shows such as the 2014 Whitney Biennial, New York; the 12th Biennale de Lyon, Lyon, France (2013); and The Residue of Memory, Aspen Art Museum, Colorado (2012). Recent exhibitions include Pink Cup and the Facts, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York, NY (with Jay DeFeo) (2017); By and By, Susanne Vielmetter Projects, Los Angeles, CA (2017); Karl Haendel and Tony Lewis, LAXArt, Los Angeles, CA (with Tony Lewis) (2016). His works are in the public collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Guggenheim Museum, New York.

a Solo Presentation by

SZABOLCS BOZÓ

MARFA INVITATIONAL 2023 | Spring Edition ✨✨✨

Presented by
CARL KOSYÁL | London + Stockholmkostyal

Born in 1992 in Pécs, Hungary, Szabolcs Bozó has risen to become one of the most promising European artists of his generation with his cartoon-ish, playful and highly individualistic artistic style.

Szabolcs Bozó’s oeuvre revolves essentially around the fields of drawing and painting. Completely without inhibition, his iconography displays a regressive and joyously school-boyish attitude, whose more subversive flipside emerges from beneath this apparent innocence. In a short space of time, Bozó has forged a style that is immediately recognizable. His flashily colored zoomorphic creatures are set against a white background that is not always perfectly clean, but whatever the case, the essential idea is to communicate energy, abundance and humor.

Bozó has been the subject of Solo Exhibitions at M Woods, Beijing (2022); Almine Rech, Brussels (2021); Carl Kostyál, London (2021); L21 S’Escorxador, Palma De Mallorca, Spain (2020); and Semiose, Paris (2020). His work has been in numerous Group Exhibitions around the globe. Including WOW Gallery, Hong Kong; Almine Rech, Shanghai; Carl Kostyál, Stockholm; and Ross + Kramer, East Hampton, NY.

Szabolcs Bozó lives and works in London.

a Solo Presentation by

PETER HALLEY

MARFA INVITATIONAL 2023 | Spring Edition ✨✨✨

Presented by
BALDWIN GALLERY | Aspen

Born in 1953 in Manhattan, New York- Peter Halley came to prominence as a central figure of the Neo-Conceptualist movement of the 1980’s East Village. Exhibiting alongside Jeff Koons, Annette Lemieux, Haim Steinbach, Phillip Taaffe, and Steven Parrino, among others. His strict geometric vocabulary of 'prisons', 'cells', and 'conduits' has remained consistent since he first constructed it in the ’80s. Agile studies in discomfort which employ the language of geometric abstraction to explore the organization of social space in the digital era. A sociological diagnostic of the isolating and anonymizing effect of technology on contemporary life- which 'now', in the current moment, feels more relevant than ever.

Beyond his visual vocabulary, Halley is known for his essays, written in the 1980's and 1990's- exploring the influence of burgeoning digital technology on art and culture. From 1996 to 2005, Halley published INDEX magazine .magazine - which included in-depth interviews with the era's most relevant cultural figures in fashion, music, film, and other creative fields. (I recall fondly, waiting eagerly for the arrival of each new issue.)

Throughout Halley's career, he has taught at numerous universities. Including Columbia University, UCLA, and Yale University School of Art Where he served as Director of Graduate Studies in Painting From 2002 to 2011, and made endowed chair, Leffingwell Professor of Painting, in 2010.

Halley’s work has been exhibited extensively around the world. In 2023, the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Mudam), Luxembourg, will present a survey of Peter Halley’s paintings from the 1980s.

Halley is currently the subject of a Solo Exhibition at Modern Art in London 🟦

ALLISON ZUKERMAN
Allison Zuckerman]

For your warmest of welcomes ✨✨✨
and utmost generosity 🙏

We cannot wait to get the band back together
in the wilds of Marfa...🔔🔔🔔

Allison Zuckerman’s work juxtaposes colourful pop imagery with female-orientated images from art history. Through this marriage of epochs Zuckerman seeks to reclaim female figures from a male-dominated art historical canon. Her pop-surrealist work appropriates various art historical tropes and references to "recast the submissive, romanticized female muses painted by male artists throughout Western art history as commanding, empowered figures." Zuckerman creates an alternative narrative by remixing the female sitters of prominent male artists into a feminist 21st century.

Zuckerman received a BA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012 and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015. She attended the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art in 2011.

Zuckerman was the Artist-in-residence at the Rubell Family Collection in the Summer of 2017. During this time, she created work for her first Museum Solo Exhibition "Stranger in Paradise" which opened at the Rubell Family Collection over Art Basel Miami Beach 2017.

Zuckerman's second Museum Solo Exhibition, 'Pirate and Muse' opened 2018 at the Akron Art Museum. Jeremy Scott , Creative Director of Moschino , wrote the foreword for the exhibition's catalogue. "Zuckerman's figures are amalgams of body parts, clothing and background elements from artists [all male] throughout history, and Disney and other pop culture imagery."
Zuckerman (born 1990) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
