Thursday 6-8PM at C.G. Boerner - 23 E. 73rd St.,
Sept. 22nd, Jane Kent: 3 Artist's Books:

Privacy

The Orchid Thief Reimagined

Skating

  

C.G. Boerner is pleased to announce its first exhibition of Jane Kent, on view from September 19 - October 20, 2011. The exhibition, Jane Kent: Three Artist's  Books Privacy-The Orchid Thief Reimagined and Skating, is held on the occasion of the publication of her most recent work Skating, a new collaboration by Richard Ford and Jane Kent. The exhibition will feature Jane Kent's three artist books dating from 1999 to 2011. It will also include preparatory drawings for the newest book, Skating. Skating, a series of forty-five short, acerbic, sometimes hilarious renderings of how two lovers argue their way out of love, is an artist's book in which text and image combine to create an eccentric and irregular structure. The piece is constructed so that the eleven differently sized unbound sheets fit together as one image when displayed on the wall in an intended configuration. Text and image are printed variously in letterpress, drypoint, engraving, mezzotint and silkscreen. Richard Ford is a novelist and story writer. He was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and lives in Maine. He is the author of ten books of fiction, including the trilogy The Sportswriter, Independence Day, The Lay of the Land, and the short story collection Rock Springs. His work has been translated into 28 languages. With the artist, Jane Kent, he has also authored Privacy, published by the Grenfell Press in 1999. Jane Kent is an artist who works as a painter and printmaker. Her work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, the New York Public Library; Spencer Collection, the Brooklyn Museum and the National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington, DC among others. Jane Kent is an Associate Professor of Art at the University of Vermont.
