Simone Subal Gallery Presents 'Anna K.E.: Profound and Easy Outcome', 4/9
Simone Subal Gallery is proud to announce Anna K.E.: Profound and Easy Outcome at the Queens Museum opening this Sunday, April 9th. This will be K.E.'s first institutional solo show in New York.
Anna K.E's Profound Approach and Easy Outcome will be the Queens Museum's third iteration in a series of site-specific commissions by women artists on the museum's Large Wall. Measuring 140 feet wide by 45 feet high, the installation will be visible to the general public from the outside in Flushing Meadows Corona Park through floor-to-ceiling windows. Taking maximum advantage of the spatial dynamics of this significant wall, Profound Approach and Easy Outcome performs a complex reflection on artistic production, feminism, power, and the role of institutions. Among five visual elements affixed to the wall, billboard-size photographic works will depict the artist in action in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum, posing as the depicted characters in renowned master portraits by Otto Dix and Balthus. K.E.'s work considers her own role in art history, fusing the question of male-dominated canons with her comically intuitive and gestural responses. Inserting herself not only just into the institution, but into the historical narrative of the work itself. K.E. playfully asks the viewer to enter the institution with a critical eye, and to question dominant visual culture.
