James Kalm tries to stays hydrated, and heads to Chelsea to record a double venue exhibition of Rita Ackermann. Titled “Splits” and “Splits: Printing /
Painting”. Ackermann presents a new series of large painting, developing her motif of snuggling young female characters, as angels, dancers or pedestrians. “Splits” refer to the artist’s device of dividing the picture’s composition horizontally into three “screens”. Pictorial density and painted facture emphasize these divisions, and the contrasts are not only material but stylistic, referring to art historical precedents, and our deep vs shallow perceptions of mass media.
