Jutta Koether

mylar, pushpins on wood

A dynamic and process-oriented work by Jutta Koether, this piece employs mylar and pushpins affixed to a wooden support, foregrounding the raw materiality of its construction. The reflective, translucent quality of the mylar plays against the utilitarian punctuation of the pushpins, evoking themes of provisional installation and the boundary between painting and performance. True to Koether's practice, the work resists closure, presenting itself as an open, unstable field of meaning.
