Jeffrey Joyal

Joyal is a New York-based artist working primarily in sculpture, often mixing organic, perishable, and synthetic materials to create corporeal, beguilingly surreal tableaus. His most recent works, exemplified by Leaky Tom (2016) incorporate found historical objects (WWII era cots), latex casts of tin ceilings and tile floors from abandoned NY interiors, and continue Joyal’s interest in lamps and unusual light sources; here combining the artist’s interest in readymades (the Edison lightbulb) with live or animal forms (taxidermy turkey head), and the uneasy feeling that the juxtaposition of these disparate objects produces.

Jared Madere Biography

The LISTE booth will debut two of Madere’s new tapestries.

Lion Lamb and Cloud III are cinematic digital narratives printed on synthetic silk. They are presented in anticipation of the artist’s upcoming (July 2016) commission for Liberty of London. Tasked with creating a monumental work for the store’s famous atrium, Madere will install an enormous tapestry, with a similar digitized kaleidoscope of images printed on synthetic silk. The Liberty tapestry will be suspended from a barge with alternating rows of faux roses and rainbow bells. On either side it will be flanked by hitchhiker angels, each one holding a bag with a dripping LED icicle.

The Liberty commission continues Madere’s extraordinary innovations in monumental sculpture and installation, which began in the Grenoble exhibition DOOM SURFACE in 2014 and continued, most prominently, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2015.

[Madere’s] fantastical composition does not stem from a Surrealist unconscious or from a trip down a rabbit hole of online image searches. Instead, it extends in part from an idea of potential and possibility as interpreted through a layman’s read of astrophysics and theoretical physics. If more than one universe exists and if string theory opens the door to more than four dimensions, how does that affect our conception of what is real or possible? For Madere, an acknowledgement of multiple universes and dimensions allows his work to be a more accurate response to the powers that be, whether they are laws of physics or higher beings.

Biography

I love these birds and I love the sky... my attempt at probing the possibility of spiritual feeling within paintings that speak a certain referential language is simply an offering dedicated on the altar of contemporary art...Is it possible to hold both the spiritual in-finite and a moralistic critique of ideology in mind at the same time? Does it sacrifice one’s sense of irony to put it on the altar for a while? Irony implies critique, devotion implies belief.
