Algorithmia: Paintings by Amy Vensel
Algorithmia is an exhibition of paintings that highlight the divisions in society driven by social media. Derived from a combination of “algorithm” and “arrhythmia,” Algorithmia reflects on how algorithms manipulating data can distort facts and heighten divisions, causing a lack of harmony and rhythm. Much like people can have two different conclusions based on the source of their information as presented by an algorithm, the paintings in this exhibition present two related but divergent elements divided by a black band, as if the two sides are distorted reflections of the same idea or event.
Merging gestural, geometric and process-based abstraction, Amy Vensel employs a system of invented rules to bridge elements of chance and control in her paintings. Her work has been shown internationally, with recent exhibitions at the Rothko Museum in Latvia, the Las Cruces Museum of Art in New Mexico, and The Painting Center in New York. A graduate of Syracuse University, she has been an artist in residence at Millay Arts, the Rothko Museum, and the Vermont Studio Center. Vensel currently lives and works in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
