"Animating the Pine Barrens" by Rachel Heidenry

Added on May 11, 2016 by CUE Accounts.

This essay was written in conjunction with Erin Dunn: Oceanic Dancer, on view at CUE June 4 – July 9, 2016.

Erin Dunn grew up at the Jersey Shore and spent her childhood exploring the Pine Barrens—the vast patch of forest known for misshapen trees and mythic tales. This odd, unexplored expanse of land in the middle of a region known for its turnpikes and boardwalks, deeply influences Dunn’s airbrushed paintings and stop-motion animations, in which the natural mixes with the grotesque to create mythic illusions.

"Bearing Witness" by Jessica Lynne

Added on March 8, 2016 by CUE Accounts.

This essay was written in conjunction with Kambui Olujimi: Solastalgia, on view at CUE April 7 – May 12, 2016.

Presently, there is no system that tracks the number of extrajudicial killings of civilians by police officers in this country. There is no annual tally of the victims, no final grand evaluation outlining the who, what, when, or why. There are only approximations and estimates. What we must do then is draw conclusions based on that which is reported and shared publicly. When the smoke clears, we are most often faced with the following scenario: police officer shoots/strangles/chokes unarmed civilian.

"About Armadillos and other Topics" by Sara Roffino

Added on January 14, 2016 by CUE Accounts.

This essay was written in conjunction with Tamara Johnson: No Your Boundaries, on view at CUE February 13 – March 23, 2016.

If the challenge is to situate oneself within one’s present, the tools Johnson uses to do so are rope, silicon, paint and wood. It’s not hard to imagine that the time she spent staving off boredom at the granite warehouse has contributed to her becoming a sculptor: It is through building objects, and parsing their material qualities and the significance of their existence, that Johnson negotiates her own space within the world.

"Unsettled" by Anna Tsouhlarakis

Added on November 7, 2015 by Admin.

This essay was written in conjunction with Athena LaTocha: Curated by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, on view at CUE November 7 - December 19, 2015.

Athena LaTocha speaks about growing up in Alaska and her relationships with the land, the people and her family. While many artists may downplay their beginnings, it became clear this was an important primer for the language LaTocha would come to use in her creative process.

"Migrations" by Ian Epstein

Added on July 22, 2015 by Admin.

This essay was written in conjunction with Country, Home, on view at CUE September 5-October 10, 2015.

Migrations create lacunae. They cause erasures. They occur for reasons that are obvious and obfuscated in equal measure. They ensnare people in webs of unfamiliar language and trauma, forcing engagement with unknown rules and routines. They scrub the lived histories off of people on their way from one nationality to another. Migration has a way of twisting specificity from stories, removing the details, like a wet cloth expels a liquid. Yet art is capable of expressing this loss; it can untwist the cloth.

"Collage and the Landscape of Familiarity" by John McKissick

Added on March 25, 2015 by Admin.

This essay was written in conjunction with Mira Burack: from the bed to the mountain. On view at CUE Art Foundation, May 2nd through June 6th, 2015.

from the bed to the mountain evokes Mira Burack’s home in the foothills of the Ortiz Mountains of New Mexico. Elaborated through photocollaged installations and collections of found objects, this landscape of familiarity includes both intimate domestic space and the natural world. Inside and outside meet in the mountainous wall mural leafed together from cutout photos of a rumpled comforter. In her work, the way to place passes through sleep.
