PETER ROSTOVSKY Thursday, June 26 Painting at the End of the World For his presentation, Peter Rostovky will discuss the evolution of his artistic practice and his writing. Tracing the continuities that connect his varied projects, special emphasis will be placed on the intellectual concerns of his work and the larger questions that still polarize painting and political engagement. Peter Rostovsky is a Russian-born artist who works in a variety of disciplines that include painting, sculpture and installation. Known for his paintings that explore the sublime in the everyday, he is equally committed to pursuing conceptual and collaborative work. Rostovsky’s many diverse projects attempt to bridge the gap between painting and conceptual art while remaining attentive to painting’s material and discursive history, and especially to its encounter with new technologies. His work has been shown widely including at The Walker Art Center Minneapolis, MCA Santa Barbara, PS1/MOMA, MYC Artpace, San Antonio, The Santa Monica Museum of Art, ICA,. Philadelphia, the Blanton Museum, Austin, and S.M.A.K., Ghent as well at many private galleries.
