Ad Infinitum: The aesthetics of repetition II
Haines Gallery, San Francisco 2005. Ad Infinitum: The
Aesthetics of Repetition II, a group exhibition that
compares and contrasts distinctive approaches to
recurrence and repetition in art. The thread of
commonality amongst this wide spectrum of mode and
material is the laborious nature of producing many of
these objects. Visually prominent throughout the works in
this exhibition is the obsessive attention to detail and
the painstaking processes required in their making. Many
of the artworks use the action of repetition, either
through a series of similar images or material. Artists
included are Carl Andre, Rana Begum, Omar Chacon, Max
Cole, Rob Craigie, Amy Ellingson, David Klamen, Nigel
Poor, Alan Rath, Ed Ruscha, Yoshitomo Saito, and
Stephanie Syjuco.
