MAY 10, 2008 curated by DAVE EGGERS apexart apexart 291 church street new york, ny 10013 t: 212.431.5270 f: 646.827.2487 info@apexart.org www.apexart.org apexart is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, tax-deductible organization and does not engage in sales or sales related activities. apexart is a registered trademark. This exhibition is supported in part by the Peter Norton Family Foundation. apexart's exhibitions and public programs are supported in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Edith C. Blum Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts. apexart © 2008 ISBN-10: 1-933347-26-0 ISBN-13: 978-1-933347-26-4 There were three main people who worked on the show on our end, Jesse Nathan, Jordan Bass, and myself, and we all took a shot at writing essays about the work we’d found and included in this show. The first drafts of these essays were a little formal and maybe even pretentious. We re-wrote them and they were still didn’t seem right. So finally we settled on the text below, all of it mercifully brief and plain. This show, titled Lots Of Things Like This, came about when apexart asked for an idea for a show. The first thought that occurred to us was an exhibit that would highlight work that included these three elements: 1. An image 2. Some words (usually referring to the image) 3. A sense of humor The show never got much more complicated than that. We started with the artists we knew we had to include: Raymond Pettibon, Tucker Nichols, Maira Kalman and David Shrigley. All four of them had found a place in the fine art world, even though in many cases their work was both narrative and funny, a combination that’s historically been rare in galleries and museums. For the most part, artists who use text in their work don’t write punchlines – the text is usually abstract or oblique, open to inter- pretation. But the rise of comics-based art, and of Pettibon in particular, had opened the doors to new hybrids of words and images, thank god. So we started looking for work by our starting four artists, and many others, that satisfied the criteria. We figured we would bring in some artists who generally go by the label cartoonists (because, generally speaking, image + text + humor = cartoons), and we did, but we also found some with works by: Jean-Michel Basquiat Leonard Cohen David Berman Ted Berrigan Joe Brainard Georges Braque Jeffrey Brown R. Crumb Henry Darger Marcel Duchamp CM Evans Shephard Fairey David Godbold Alasdair Gray Philip Guston Paul Hornschemeier Jay Howell Chris Johanson Maira Kalman Kenneth Koch David Mamet Quenton Miller Tucker Nichols Alice Notley Ron Padgett Raymond Pettibon Dan Perjovschi Amy Jean Porter Steve Powers Royal Art Lodge Peter Saul George Schneeman Olga Scholten David Shrigley Shel Silverstein Nedko Solakov Ralph Steadman William Steig Saul Steinberg Kurt Vonnegut great examples of the form from long-dead painters (Goya, Magritte), more recently dead genre-straddlers (Steinberg, Warhol), and a won- derfully diverse group of artists from all kinds of disciplines: writers, poets, musicians and play- wrights. Actually just one playwright, David Mamet. But he's one of the best. In some cases, this sort of work is central to what an artist does. Solakov and Perjovschi, for example, are well known for their brilliant and witty combi- nations of text and image. In other cases, as with Silverstein, this kind of captioned art is at the outer edge of the artist’s oeuvre. But we can say that just about every artist that we investigated, or had a hunch about, did indeed have work like this cover image by Tucker Nichols visit apexart.org for more information on the artists and works clockwise: Jeffrey Brown, David Shrigley, George Schneeman/Ron Padgett, Raymond Pettibon

tucked away somewhere.
Long after we had filled the show, we were finding fascinating examples of the form, and of course there are a number of obvious omissions in this show, from Lichtenstein to Picasso. In any case, being loathe to draw conclusions about the artists’ motivations or methods, because, again, so many of these people are dead, we’re instead going to list some questions that occurred to us and might occur to you and might help the show blow your mind completely: Why is it that so many of these artists aren’t so great at spelling? And why is it that when they screw up one of their words, instead of starting over, they just cross the word out and write it again? Many people would choose to start over. Why is it important to many of the artists that the drawings appear casual, even rushed? Is the loose draftsmanship part of its appeal, in that it seems more intimate and disarming? Is absurdity more appealing when it comes across as humble? What is the line between a doodle, a cartoon, a gag, a work of fine art, and will there ever be a time when someone doesn’t insist on writing a similar kind of silly and rhetorical sentence in an art catalog? In some cases does it seem that the artist is defac- ing his or her own work by adding the text? That’s partly why we included the Duchamp / Mona Lisa experiment and the Goya – in both cases the words are a lighthearted comment on a finished or abandoned image. Sorry, that’s not really a question. Moving on... Does this excerpt from an essay by Michael Bracewell, writing about David Shrigley, help us understand what some of these artists are up to? Here’s the relevant part: “Shrigley’s unlocked studio, situated near a struggling job club, was often raided by vandals who amused themselves by making additions to his drawings. Acknowledging the comedy within the discrepancy between the miscreants’ anti- art attitude and the claims of fine art to instruct or enlighten, [Shrigley] began to develop a graphic style in which the banal or the absurd could be used...” Couldn’t it be said that these artists are doing lots of not-encouraged-in-art-school things at once, given they’re making work that’s narrative, often informal, un-self-serious and usually featuring punchlines? And given its crossing of these many boundaries, doesn’t it make sense that its practitioners would come from so many other disciplines? Does the subject matter – in many cases private and withdrawn – fit the form of these drawings? That is, is there something shy and retiring about this work, as if you’re looking at something very private, some- thing not meant for public viewing? Is it instructive that a good percentage of the art we chose to put in the show was hard to find? More often than not, we would find something in a book or online that we wanted to include, and when we got in touch with the artist, his or her gallery or estate, they would have no idea where the original was. No one would know. It was refreshing, in a way, and seemed appropriate for the form. Again, it doesn’t take itself so seriously. But it does bring pleasure. This was really the guiding motivation behind the researching and hanging of this show: to put an enjoyable exhibit together, to cover the walls with strange and funny things. In that pursuit, we were lucky to assemble a fascinating group of artists, and we hope you like it. P.S. The ostensible curator, Dave Eggers, would like to emphasize just how hard Jesse Nathan, a very young man who stepped up to help out, worked on this show. A good deal of the most interesting “finds” in the show came via his hard work, ingenuity and creative digging. Jordan Bass at McSweeney’s was a tremendous help, and of course Kerri Schlottman and everyone at apexart were exceptionally professional, good-natured, quick and efficient, and helpful in every way.
