About the Item

Julianne Swartz Placement (Disc), 2007 C-Print 13.5 x 17" unframed 14.75 x 18 inches framed Edition of 8 Often working with materials that could be purchased from the local hardware store—wire, mirrors, magnets, periscopes, speakers and glass, Julianne Swartz creates sculptures, installations and photographs. As the artist has explained: “I am interested in the intersection of the physical and non-physical, and making what is not physical somehow palpable.” The non-physical in Swartz’s work is as varied as the physical facts of the universe—light, memory, sound, kinetics, the passing of time and a sense of place. Her work encourages the viewer to reconsider our relationship with spaces. Our surroundings seem real, yet a simple construction of lens and ambient light can project another version of the world. Both versions are a result of the true functioning of the natural world. What we experience as real, Swartz’s work informs us, is only one of a myriad of possible variations and configurations. Swartz’s wondrous contraptions conjure unexpected and magical effects from the mundane elements of the physical world and suggest that even these details are miraculous. Swartz received a MFA from Bard College and BA in photography and creative writing from the University of Arizona, Tucson. She has shown her work nationally with major installations and exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, MoMA PS1, 2004 Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of Art, New Museum, MASS MoCA, deCordova Museum & Sculpture Park, and ICA, Virginia Commonwealth University. She has received numerous awards, including Anonymous Was A Women Award (2015), American Academy of Arts And Letters Award (2010) and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Award (2008).

  • "remembering the way" black and white photograph clouds sky bird silhouette
    By Marie Navarre
    Located in Phoenix, AZ
    Marie Navarre remembering the way, 2021 archival digital print on Surface Gampi, Rives BFK 25.5" x 25" unframed 28.75" x 27.75" framed Edition of 5 Marie Navarre’s deep interest in poetry, especially the Japanese form of Haiku, has had a profound influence on her work. She conjures dreamlike images that appear to be from just outside the realm of human observation, like the fragments of a distant memory. She prints her mysterious and timeless images of flocks of birds, grey sky and shimmering endless horizons unmoored from specific times and places, then hand stitches over a background of Gampi paper—a soft, silky Japanese paper that has a satin-like sheen. These enigmatic photographic constructions document the implications of a moment rather than its actuality. The artist understands that her relationship to photography is complex: “I have this trouble of being a photographer but wanting to make the photographs into something else. I still think like a photographer even though in some ways I’m sabotaging the way that photography works. I still begin my artmaking process by making pictures. I don’t know how to begin without the photograph.” At play is the tension of a fixed medium documenting a world in movement. Navarre has a BA, MA and MFA from Arizona State University. Her work is collected nationally and she has received a number of awards including a Capp Street Project Residency Grant in San Francisco for her collaboration with Jim Campbell...
