Galerie Kandlhofer, Wien / Österreich

Jared Ginsburg uses art-making to explore alternative modes of knowledge production and transfer. He recognizes art as a tool, a means to test and probe the world, hoping to nurture new strategies for productive engagement. Ginsburg employs a range of media types in his practice, including painting, sculpture, drawing, video and performance.

Kinetic sculptures are integral to his repertoire, created by combining found objects in movement with rudimentary methods of construction. An ongoing series of sculptural drawings composed of bamboo, rubber and string, the ‘Hanging Drawings’ began as an attempt to translate an ink drawing into three-dimensional space, and soon they became exercises in composition in and of themselves.... In his ‘Wall painting’ series, large-scale canvasses are layered with histories of note-making and drawings – a kind of private archaeology, which covers and reveals through a process of painting-over and sanding-away. Seeking “indeterminacy or chance operations” in his process, Ginsburg's studio plays a significant role; at once a lab, an instrument and a character in conversation.
