Sterling RUBY EXHM (3689) - 2012 Collage et uréthane sur carton Signé 256.5 x 265.4 cm L'oeuvre porte au dos l'étiquette su Studio Sterling Ruby Collage and urethane on cardboard; signed 100.78 x 104.33 in. Provenance : Hauser & Wirth, Londres Acquis directement auprès de cette dernière par l'actuel propriétaire Expositions : Londres, Hauser & Wirth, Sterling Ruby, EXHM, 22 mars au 4 mai 2013 FR La pratique interdisciplinaire de l'artiste Sterling Ruby, basé à Los Angeles, canalise les conflits entre les impulsions individuelles et les mécanismes de contrôle social, la domination américaine et le déclin, un engagement avec l'irrationalité et la psychologie dysfonctionnelle, et son résultat final dans le bouleversement. Les œuvres de Ruby agissent comme des marqueurs formellement chargés et des allégories des fardeaux qui pèsent sur l'existence contemporaine. Les œuvres de la série « EXHM » (abbréviation pour EXHuMation) de Sterling Ruby sont des actes d'archéologie autobiographique, historique et sociale. Ruby s'est tourné vers l'intérieur, traitant son atelier comme un site d'excavation où les œuvres d'art et les matériaux jetés, enterrés et collectés sont déterrés et réanimés. Ces séries mettent en évidence la subversion continue de Ruby à l'égard du matériel et du contenu. Elles révèlent un processus thérapeutique qui incarne un site entre l'utilité créative et la futilité à travers le recyclage d'objets éphémères de l'atelier. Lorsqu'il réalise des sculptures en uréthane coulé, Ruby pose des morceaux de carton pour protéger le sol de l'atelier. Ses collages EXHM reprennent ces morceaux de carton couverts d'uréthane, de saleté et d'empreintes de pas et les réinventent en compositions formelles, que Ruby finalise en y insérant des photos de cimetières, d'établissements pénitentiaires, d'emballages d'ordonnances et d'autres objets trouvés autour de l'atelier. EN Los Angeles-based artist Sterling Ruby's interdisciplinary practice channels the conflicts between individual impulses and mechanisms of social control, American domination and decline, an engagement with irrationality and dysfunctional psychology, and its end result in upheaval. Ruby's works act as formally charged markers and allegories for the burdens that plague contemporary existence. Entitled 'EXHM', the artist's abbreviation for 'exhumation', Ruby's debut exhibition with Hauser & Wirth presents an installation of new ceramics, collages, fabric and urethane sculptures. The works in 'EXHM' are acts of autobiographical, art historical and social archaeology. Ruby has turned inward, treating his studio as an excavation site where discarded, buried and collected artworks and materials are dug up and reanimated. These new series highlight Ruby's continued subversion of both material and content. They reveal a therapeutic process that embodies a site between creative utility and futility through the recycling of studio ephemera. When making poured urethane sculptures, Ruby lays down pieces of cardboard to protect the studio floor. His EXHM collages take these cardboard pieces covered in urethane, dirt and footprints and reinvent them as formal compositions, which Ruby finalises by inserting pictures of burial grounds, correctional facilities, prescription packages and other objects found around the studio.
