“作为一名艺术家，我扮演着研究者、流浪者、猎人、不敬的屠夫、媒人、赌徒和通灵者的角色。我对这个非凡的世界的回应是，从价值和漠视的深渊中收集，真诚地重新塑造那些奇异的、微妙的、优雅的、破碎的和热爱的事物，以在这种怪诞的政治氛围中关注我们这个时代的人性。”

Nino Mier Gallery画廊举办波特兰艺术家Blair Saxon-Hill的新作品首次个展。艺术家将一系列的具象雕塑和壁画作品组合、排列。装置作为一个整体，类似于对当今情绪化景观的触觉呈现，对我们的日常生活感到惊讶，热爱，愤怒，凝视着外面的世界。这些作品纹理丰富，使用的材料简陋，包括毛巾、浮木、复古纺织品、裤袜、安全眼镜和麻绳，以及更传统的工作室材料，包括石膏、木材和水泥。这些作品推动了艺术史的发展，例如贫穷艺术 (Arte Povera)和COBRA，以及丰富的国际和西海岸汇编史的发展。在这次展览中，Blair Saxon-Hill唤起了记忆、记录和感知，从持续不断的信息和数据流之外的日常事件中汲取的感知力，形成了她所谓的“不可能的文件”。

Installation view of Blair Saxon-Hill, to no ending except ourselves, December 3, 2016 – January 29, 2017, JOAN, Los Angeles.

JOAN呈现艺术家Blair Saxon-Hill的个展《to no ending except ourselves》，这是一组雕塑装置，被排列成抽象的人物，类似于舞台上的人物。她的二维和三维组合由手工和借来的材料构成，如天鹅绒、粘土、破布、丝绸、串珠手袋、衣架、棍子和雨伞。沿着墙壁，这些摇摇欲坠的人物似乎是拿起武器的行军。

对于Blair Saxon-Hill来说，这一系列作品的灵感直接来自于2016年总统大选前数月的政治动荡所带来的集体焦虑。她创造了一个混乱的场景——当他们从废墟中出现时，扭曲的面孔和他们破碎的身体在阴魂不散的和幽默之间取得了平衡，似乎从休眠状态中复活了。从贫穷艺术的遗产中汲取灵感，Blair Saxon-Hill采用常见的材料，揭示他们的年代感和光泽，她的作品是触觉的华丽和碎片的混合体。这组装置作品与她过去的作品有所不同，用一种微妙的感觉取代了一种粗犷的脆弱和讽刺的幽默感。

继续了她对摄影的使用和她对感知的发挥，Blair Saxon-Hill在一个新的系列作品中引入了绘画和雕塑媒介。在与错视画和当代艺术的传统对话中，这些作品诉说着我们文化时代的眩晕。

从屏幕文化和即将来临的环境灾难之间的矛盾关系中，Blair Saxon-Hill通过其自身物质过程的复杂性，强调规模、范围和变化的边缘，优先考虑物质和物质的实质。Blair Saxon-Hill的图像是经过精心挑选的，与“发现”的说法无关。“观众体验到交叉、堆叠、依附的方式、对触摸和消费的关注:这些新作品向观众宣布了一种完全跨媒体的方式(和制作)。”如果当代文化是在争夺新形象的军备竞赛，那么Blair Saxon-Hill就走出了“武器”的当代概念，成为了炫目的伪装——因此她通过另一种形式的(矛盾的)形象颠覆了自我毁灭的图像交易。
