Collection: Karen Khoury - In Situ
Is a painting only an object that resides in a place of fixed meaning?
In Situ explores art, in this case paintings and how they exist in our domestic environments.
The works in this exhibit are intentionally placed in position, “In Situ.” Inevitably a dialogue/experience is situationally created once a work is placed on a wall, set on a table, or propped on the floor.
Today art is widely viewed through digital representations on our computers, type in any artist’s name and your screen fills up with all their work and a website. Typically on an artist’s site you can find their bio, a list of exhibits and awards, contact, and a gallery of work. Over the past several years many artists have added a new tab called “in situ,” click on this tab and you see their work in an extraordinary environment. There are also in situ apps that provide a created interior environment, just download a picture of your work, click and poof your work exists in this digital environment, complete with the perfect sofa, chair, plants, and lamps. These apps are used more and more by dealers and gallerists as a marketing tool for their clients.
My hope is that this exhibit creates a conversation about where art resides both in reality and virtually.
