Exposition. Ken APTEKAR: Talking to Pictures 18 octobre 1997 - 05 avril 1998 USA, Washigton D.C., The Corcoran Gallery of Art http://www.corcoran.org/cga/exibit/gallery/ken/1.htm

Notes : [ In his work, Ken Aptekar "recycles" old masterpieces, bolting glass with sandblasted words to his own painted interpretations of artistic icons works by old masters such as Rembrandt and Raphael in order to reevaluate some of our most potent presumptions about the nature of authorship. For his project at the Corcoran, his first solo museum exhibition, Aptekar proposes to create a body of work that results from interacting with the Gallery's permanent collection, the staff and the museum audience, making new paintings specifically in dialogue with selected works from the collection. Using the intersection of language and visual image he explores, and attempts to decode, those attributes that cause us to consider certain works of art masterpieces. His edited and rearticulated texts pose elusive questions and forge mysterious connections between fleeting thoughts and the very precise, and decidedly solid image. source: http://www.corcoran.org/cga/exibit/gallery/ken/1.htm ]
