Read a fantastic profile on Rebecca Campbell in the current issue of Art LTD. The article covers three bodies of works which Campbell has been developing over the past few years – all of which are featured in three separate 2016 exhibitions: You are Here (L.A. Louver, Jan 13 - Feb 13), Dreams of Another Time (Cal State Long Beach, Jan 30 - Apr 10) and The Potato Eaters (Lancaster MOAH, May 7 - July 24 / Brigham Young University, Sept).
“While showing discrete bodies of work, and organized by three different curatorial teams, the pronounced interactions that emerge between them – some of which even came as a revelation to the artist herself – serve to highlight the evolution of both the conceptual and formal dynamics underpinning the span of her entire practice. Taken together, the result is a throroughgoing articulation of who she is an an artist and as a woman, and of how her personal experience has come to shape her public style over the course of, as she describes, a lifetime of figuring things out by painting them. ‘Decorum, wit, and vagary posing as intellectual reserve,’ states Campbell, ‘are just not that interesting me.’” – Shana Nys Dambrot, Art LTD
