Luxembourg & Dayan
“In a time where the terms ‘cut’ and ‘paste’ refer more often to allegorical and digital operations than to the use of scissors and glue, it seems imperative to go back and examine the technical invention that lies on the historical seam between pictures and images, between manual craft and the meditated reality of the digital age.” — Yuval Etgar, curator

“The doors have the power to connect us to mystical, magical, and mythical possibilities, but it takes a lot of courage to be able to walk through them. One risks that there could be nothing on the other side of the door; it takes a leap of faith to make that kind of transition.” — Sandra Muss

Hannah van Bart
Marianne Boesky Gallery
"I build my paintings with bricks made of damp, moist air. Or at least that is how it sometimes feels for me. As a young person I lived near an old castle and spent many hours drawing that castle. This group of works brought that experience back to me. I work until I feel there is something happening that makes me look and then makes me look again.” — Hannah van Bart
