About the Program
Michael Shumiatcher's Three Donuts: Ronald, Donald, Dan installation transforms the gallery into a minimalist shrine. The exhibition at first seems to be an apologetic representation of late 1960s minimalism, a kind of repentant neo-minimalism, less a simple appropriation than a complex sort of plagiarism of minimalist discourse. The works are all relatively modest in scale, structurally integral, and almost forbiddingly self-contained. They are conceptually systematic but perceptually irregular, elegant without ostentation, and surprisingly sensuous. They affirm Shumiatcher's new fixity of purpose, vision, and means.Using the Table of Contents of Gregory Battcock's Minimal Art, the artist will do a short performance at the opening.
