Form presents itself with an earned knowledge. As images collect context, an entry point in allotting an entirely novel outlook/output arrives. 'no. 0' references the conflict between an instant flash of image discovery and its following re-generation through laborious attention to material and research. Works included can be seen as operating a presentation of images pressing against its foundational purpose, embracing inconsistencies, noting a tangible or nonexistent original form. Stewart Bird’s images offer an object of iterations built from a family tree of computer generative images. Once placed together, his use of Latent Diffusion software to merge composition continues the external, hands-off conversation between context and output. In a similar vein but inverted manner, Neal Cashman processes images sourced from life through the language of AI software to push their likeness away from reality. Cashman and Bird step away from the engine by placing it materially back in the present through a series of experimental form production: 3D print, mold making, plaster, UV Inkjet print, encaustic wax, mapping, citing. A thick gel of form removes the images from their source to a presentation more tactile, welcoming the work back to a life-like state. Craig Jun Li offers an illusion of objectivity. Their rematerialization of found images questions how circulation and reproduction transform static understandings of a given subject. Li's works employ a heightened sense of optical and tactile materiality, inviting the viewers to freely navigate the relationships among distinct elements, while recognizing original contexts Beginning again, to begin again. 'no. 0', presenting new and recent works by Stewart Bird, Neal Cashman, and Craig Jun Li, will be on view through March 8.
