Artwork Description |Rudolf Stingel’s installation for Art Unlimited continues his pursuit in redefining<br />
painting. The artist has created asite-specific installation ofasingle monumental<br />
painting based on aphotograph.<br />
‘Stingel repositions painting not only through ashift inits internal structure, but<br />
by its redefinition within, and sometimes as part of, interior architectural space...<br />
(He) assertsthe deadpan materiality of the surface of (a) painting, either by<br />
revealing the method by which itwas made, or by inviting its alteration or destruction.<br />
Ina... (portrait), the manual mastery ofpainting is deconstructed by its reassemblance<br />
through photography. Bypainstakingly rendering (the) image in<br />
paint from alarge projection of ablack-and-white photograph, Stingel achieves...<br />
some of the features and processes of the very technology threatening painting<br />
