Station Announces the Group Exhibition Thicker Dust
Kingston, NY — Station presents Thicker Dust, a painting and drawing exhibition co-curated by Caroline Schuck and Ruth Levy, on view June 25 through June 29 at 394 Hasbrouck Ave. The show features work by Ali Bonfils, David Fix Jr., Kati Kirsch and Yanka Kostova. An opening reception will be held Thursday, June 25 from 5 to 9 pm.
Thicker Dust is a simple thing. You walk in and you are placed somewhere, inside a structure or a landscape that feels like it existed before you arrived and will exist after you leave. There is a dust here. Things have settled, the memory has settled, and from that, the birth of a shifting landscape. You are looking at spaces that have already been lived in, dreamed of, examined at close range, distorted by the act of being remembered.
Yanka Kostova works in graphite, framing moments that are at once personal and on display. Her compositions sit at the edge of intimacy and exposure, pulling viewers into spaces that feel like they were never meant to be seen.
Ali Bonfils presents works that move between abstraction and figuration with a restlessness that is deliberate. Her process weaves the digital and the handmade into something that operates like a cross between a memory and a switchboard. There is rhythm and structure here, a beautiful disorientation. You find your footing and then you don't. The work is architecturally grounded and doesn’t aim to resolve itself neatly.
David Fix Jr. contributes paintings centered on tactility and sentimentality. His paintings are playful and resolved. Like a rock tumbled until smooth, or a memory handled so many times that it begins to feel like a dream. He finds the feeling in a thing and holds us there.
Kati Kirsch builds worlds with the familiar tenderness of someone who has been living in them for years. Her large-scale paintings are surrealist and densely populated, moving through terrain that operates by its own internal logic.
Thicker Dust is an entrance to each artist's unique private architecture, this group show invites you to remember. Memory doesn't need accuracy to be convincing, to stand and feel, without knowing why, that you have been here before.
