IDA APPLEBROOG
EARLY WORKS: 1975 – 1977
APRIL 28 – JUNE 2
Ida Applebroog will be exhibiting Early Works: 1975-1977 at the Feldman Gallery from April 28 to June 2. The current show will be her eleventh exhibition at the Feldman Gallery and will feature works from the years 1975-1977. Included will be Applebroog's early black books, Galileo Works, as well as the videotapes relating to that work. A part of the exhibition will be devoted to a wall-mounted chronology and illuminated stagings, retelling episodes from the life of Galileo and his daughter Virginia, whose letters Applebroog used as a springboard for these works. A headless, androgynous character acts structurally and functionally as both male and female. Applebroog's work hovers between fact and fiction, between reality and fantasy, so that the viewer is drawn into the exploration of the boundaries of narrative through the interplay of images, words, and silences. Throughout, Applebroog's humor and social commentary hit their mark: e.g., was Galileo really offered a virgin at the age of twenty, and did he perform satisfactorily?
In 1998, Ida Applebroog was awarded a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. Recent exhibitions include the Whitney Museum's The American Century exhibition, a one-person exhibition at Galerie Nathalie Pariente in Paris, France, and as one of five painters in the Humor and Rage exhibition at the Fundació Caixa Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. The Corcoran Gallery of Art, in conjunction with a one-person exhibition of Applebroog's work, has recently published a major catalogue of her work, Ida Applebroog: Nothing Personal, Paintings 1987-97, with essays by Terrie Sultan, Arthur Danto, and Dorothy Allison.
The opening of the exhibition will be on Saturday, April 28, from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 – 6:00; Monday by appointment. For information, contact Amy Bannon at 212-226-3232 or amy@feldmangallery.com.
