Kim Jones
Kim Jones is well known for his performance work, drawings, and sculptures. He has appeared on street corners and in subways, galleries and museums as “Mud Man,” an aggressive, adaptive moving sculpture constructed of lattice, sticks, tape, and mud. The works in the show typify the grotesque with their disconcertingly graphic details of human and animal parts melded together.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
