Richard Rezac, Address

The exhibition will be exhibited at the Braver museum in the University of Houston from 8th September to 8th December 2018.

In this speech we have collected 20 sculptures produced by Chicago artist Richard Rezac in the past 20 years. In addition to some of the new works entrusted by the Renaissance Association, the exhibition features the latest sculpture and a small part of his early career. Together they showed the artist a continuing involvement in the logic and inexplicable interpretive mechanisms of geometric sculpture.

The title "address" of the exhibition tells the diversity of the word. As an action, it agrees with the relationship between sculpture and its presumed spectators, reflecting the intentional creation and selection of artists in response to the Renaissance Association's architecture. As a noun, it reminds me of the important geographical environment of the artist: his studio, every piece of the address is produced, and the particular place is reflected in the title of some pieces.

Rezac 's abstract works consist of wall - mounted, floor - mounted, or suspended from the ceiling, of wood, glass, aluminum and bronze. Artists cite the practice of improvised painting as a starting point for each sculpture, but he also acknowledges the influence of construction on his work. Materials, technology and decoration

Avoiding tokens and illustrations, Rezac sculptures are formally examined through their exact positioning in their solid structure and space, while not being concrete or closed. Its size is modest, compared to the Renaissance Association's noble gallery, close to the body of the audience. Therefore, this work creates some degree of familiarity and encourages them to explore multiple levels and possible reading of each part.

Richard Rezac lives in Chicago. His sculpture is on display at home and abroad. It is a work especially at the 2006 Portland Art Museum. Currently I am enrolled in James Harris Gallery, Seattle (2017), DePaul Art Museum, Chicago (2016), Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi, Berlin (2015), Marc Foxx, Los Angeles (2015), and Rhona Hoffman Gallery (2014) I will. The exhibition Rezac received a scholarship from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Joan Mitchell Foundation and the Tiffany Foundation and in 2006 was awarded the Rome Award from the American Academy of Rome. He is an associate professor at the Chicago Art Museum.

It seems to be meaningful when you pass Richard Rezac's new exhibition "address". On the white wall of the Renaissance Association's main gallery, the windows were broken, the arch-shaped ceiling room, twenty thin objects protruding from the long Chicago wall fell off the ceiling and rested on the floor. In Rezac's elegant but slightly disengaged form, the cherry looks like plastic, the bronze looks like a pine, and the stone resembles a bell (although "stone" is actually bronze). They are not ambitious, they are abstract showing something realistic. Hovering over the head with soft red painted wood and cast aluminum Untitled work, it seems that you can imagine that the signboard of the 1950's restaurant might become a hint of airplane wings. Do not forget to eat there.
