MATT GREENE
SURRENDER
NOVEMBER 9 - DECEMBER 23, 2006
76 GRAND STREET
Deitch Projects is pleased to present Surrender, an exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Matt Greene. This new suite of paintings is inspired by erotica and its screenic image as a vehicle to address formal concerns such as surface, color, and space.
Known for his ethereal landscapes of fleshy fungi and bushy bombshells, Matt Greene continues in this series an exploration of his favorite shelves in the library: horticulture, vintage pornography, horror films, fairy tales, 19th Century Symbolist art, and of course
the history of Modernism. These disparate interests—and the weighty themes of gender, sexuality, and epistemology that accompany them— Greene masterfully approaches in a hallucinatory,visionary manner allowing them to come together in
phantasmagoric splendor on his canvases.
In Apparitions, we see a spreading out into space of Greene’s normally clustered and congealed nymphettes. Here holographic bodies writhe in superimposed planes of space, separated by Greene with glowing quadrilaterals of lush colour. These
vaguely sinister apparitions are sometimes interspersed with skeletons or swords, incongruous objects problematizing the average-Joe fantasy and alerting the viewer that much more is going on here than the familiar poses might betray.

We are pleased to announce Marco Brambilla’s first solo exhibition at
the gallery, presenting the New York debut of a three-channel video
installation called Sync.
Sync (2005) is entirely comprised of sampled images, some as short as
single frames, both from mainstream film and pornography. Each of the
three projections is organized around a different theme: fights, sex
and theatre audiences. All three screens progress at a rate of several
shots per second, resulting in a violent, almost hysterical barrage of
information on the viewer, heightened by a syncopated percussion-based
sound track that drives the pace even harder. By eliminating the
original continuity and narrative in the source material, Brambilla
achieves a new visual choreography.
Brambilla emphasizes the formulaic and derivative constructs of the way
sex and violence are portrayed by Hollywood, and interpreted by
audiences. Over time, this sensory overload leads to an increasing
tolerance for, and resistance to graphic sex and brutality, both in the
movies and in the news media in general.
