Supported artist: Jana Euler
Jana Euler’s slugs imply the movement of both the viewer and the painting’s subject, giving a clockwise vortex to the show, while her bean offers the exhibition another off-centre centre – where the energy comes from – and the molten faces of her collage are not two but sixteen. Though Euler refrains from commenting on her works, they themselves are far from mute, speaking simultaneously in a whisper and a scream, fully cogent of painting’s double bind – stretching and itching, as always.
Often working in a form of quasi-series, we show limbs from two of Euler’s bodies, including two works never presented publicly before. After solo shows at Artists Space, Stedelijk Museum, Portikus, and Kunsthalle Zürich, and a central position in the last Venice Biennale, Euler’s presence in Portugal is a blessing.
