Floor Talks & Installs, ‘entries & exit points’, New works (20 / 21)
‘entries & exit points’ (20/21) is a new series of paintings that follow on from Hogan’s previous series ‘Floor Talks & Installs’ 2009 – 2016. These photorealistic oil paintings depict documented images of installations and art objects previously created by other artists, galleries, and cultural institutions. ‘entries & exit points’ questions the status of painting within contemporary art discourse, especially in relation to conceptual art, new media, and site-specific performance. Situating painting and installation as a series of mediated images detached from their physical materiality, Hogan reflects on the current nature of authorship, reproduction and archiving within contemporary art.
