Alejandra Seeber & Karin Campbell

Miranda Bosch NY is delighted to present Twosome, a two-person show by guest artists Alejandra Seeber and Karin Campbell.

AS: ...Fast fwd ten years Karin is intensely painting, I never stopped, I had two kids, never left NY and Karin comes to the studio.

We reconnect on that familiar past, very quotidian past, where we used to hang out a lot in this 2000’s hub called Parlor Projects ( our friend Dean Daderko conceived it as an” in home” space where to host some out of this world shows.

We also reconnect doing ground on an attitude towards our work and certain punkness maybe pink- ness towards the Art-world and it’s vicissitudes. Again, FF three or four years, that’s how fast time goes in NY, and I see some images online, some amazing drawings I can’t resist.

We agree on a trade. And this is how the idea of this show is conceived..Twosome refers to this rela- tionship but also to the way we describe aspects of our relationship to the work. Karin states she is very present and my way of being present is to somehow be distracted in a way my unconsciousness is pure. In a way censorship is inactive.

KC: -. Twosome is a game or a dance for two people. It’s not a pair—there’s difference and connection and negotiation and exchange. This twosome started a while ago and continues now after a break. That’s music, that’s a dance.

My friend (dance partner?) Ale Seeber is a great painter. She talks of the need to be distracted while painting but I suspect this is really an intense focus. The kind of focus you need when allow your body, your whole body including your head to paint to draw to think. It is this distractedness, this focus that allows Ale and, I hope me too, to be present and paint and draw this movement from inside to outside like toothpaste coming out of the tube. It’s something we share: the punkness and pinkness, that Ale mentioned. I am so happy to be able to trade with her drawings, paintings, this show, ideas.
