SPLASH - HÉLOÏSE CHASSEPOT
15 NOV, 2024 - 11 JAN, 2025
Tara Downs is pleased to present Splash, an exhibition of new paintings by the artist Héloïse Chassepot. A skilled artist invested in notions of deskilling, Chassepot here accompanies her durable and incisive notions surrounding the current condition of painting with a number of site-specific interventions, placing her works within a conceptual framework concerned with the subjugation of alterity, with an unspoken opposition to joyful, rapturous, deeply personal forms of making, and the fraught negotiations between so-called high culture and mainstream cultural adaptations of contemporary art.

INTERVERSE - COLLEEN HO
24 OCT, 2024 - 8 DEC, 2024
Nature’s design is elegant and genius. Each form has a function, and nothing is extraneous. Elements coalesce, regenerate and adapt to the environment. Colleen Ho’s imagery alludes to visual patterns and structures in nature. Oscillating between macro and micro, topographical and biological forms, configurations range from gestural and free-form lines to hard-edged and geometric. Compositions evolve organically and methodically; each drawing built with tiny tears. Ripping the surface repeatedly with a thumbtack, Ho creates a delicate, tactile relief. Ho’s practice is exploration in mark-making to procure subtle textural passages using only the paper itself as her medium.

RAPPIN' MAX ROBOT - WELDER UNDERGROUND
@HIP HOP MUSEUM, BRONX
10 NOV, 2024 - APR, 2025
On a recent sunny Sunday outside of the Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx, community members gathered to celebrate the unveiling of an 18-foot-tall metallic tribute to the history and culture of the most important art form of our era. The sculpture is of Rappin’ Max Robot, a character that appeared in the first hip-hop comic book in 1986, designed by artist Eric Orr.
