Bradley Ertaskiran is thrilled to present Never Odd or Even<\/em>, a solo exhibition of new work by Julia Dault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never Odd or Even<\/em> is a palindrome, a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward. The show\u2019s artworks suggest, however, that reading backward offers something new and different\u2014that it\u2019s more akin to life, which is lived one way and always compressed, exaggerated, or otherwise changed in retrospect. Dault\u2019s new paintings, sculptures, and site-specific curtain installation reconfigure, re-frame, and re-organize their constituent patterns and gestures. Several pieces aren\u2019t exactly what they seem, as in new printed\/painted hybrids like Approval Matrix <\/em>(2020-21) and Voyager 1 <\/em>(2021-22).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visible connections, iterations, and revisions are an effort to communicate the unfolding of experience and the search for meaning. The show opens with Lifetime <\/em>(2022), a calendar visualizing the average lifespan of a North American woman\u20144,320 weeks\u2014each dot representing one week. Our varied experience of time is captured in both stark black and white and a gentle gradation of colour; in both prints, the dots blend together at midlife to conjure the sense of time speeding up, days blurring one into the next. The rigidity of the calendar\u2019s grid runs up against the feeling of life elapsing at warp speed. A version of Lifetime <\/em>also hangs on a flagpole on the gallery\u2019s facade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time has long been central to Dault\u2019s work. Her well-known Plexiglas sculptures are titled based on how long it took to build them on-site. Those works pitted industrial materials against Dault\u2019s ability to manipulate them and secure them in place. Her new sculptures are a kind of reversal. By collaborating with an engineer who configured a robot to 3D-printed ceramic forms, she uses an industrial tool to give form to a typically hand-worked material. In these works, forms and textures are printed in the round and rest on custom plinths that further her tongue-in-cheek exploration of authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceramic-printing process expands upon her use of printed material\u2014vinyl, textiles, found images\u2014earlier in her practice and elsewhere in the show. Here, several new paintings are framed in variant images of themselves, in an act of playful self-cannibalism. Another includes a glass-printed \u201ctop coat.\u201d Still, another is accompanied by a flipbook revealing each step of progress she made toward the finished piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Dault\u2019s practice, abstraction is never purely about process, but also about discovery through action; finding beauty in the fugly and inviting the viewer along the journey toward meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
