Certainly no object exists within a vacuum, but no object can be fully revealed in its relations. No amount of probing or prying, copying or recreating will exhaust the object. - Jacob Kassay <a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7273/7027028553_9936c9537d_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7273/7027028553_9936c9537d_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 812px;" /></a> jacob kassay, no goal, april 11 2012, <a href="http://powerstationdallas.com/">the powerstation</a> "This emergence insists on the power that things have in and over our lives. While being the banalities, oddities, or necessities that simply occupy space, they are also what make it possible to leave that space altogether. Objects all hold the endless capacity to estrange us from the comfort of the given and evoke what remains unseen or previously unthought - from the slightest nuances to upsettingly jarring experiences. An object can do this on its own, but it can also do it as a series of object working together... The artwork, is in a sense an object within a larger object, just like a person can exist on his or her own, but when a mass of people begin to form, a different mentality emerges altogether. The movement, the feeling, and the ardor of the mass sings a different song from the single person. The mass can envelope you; the person can face you. The song can wash over you; the note can strike you. A room of red roses overwhelms you, a single R O S E endears you. Each has its own particular cadence, resulting from the separateness of each, albeit with rather blurry borders. One often focuses on these borders to suggest that there is no object, only a convenient fiction of the mind. Close inquiry at the edge of an object apparently reveals that its solidity is purely fabricated - it is instead a radical fraying: porous, trembling, a dynamic glut of flux. Implicit in this perspective is an effective atomization of the world, where one can always look closer and see that things are not what they S E E M... It might be then assumed that the force of an object is entirely based on its relations: no inherent force of the object without light, without a spectator, without someone comparing and contrasting. Certainly no object exists within a vacuum, but no object can be fully revealed in its relations. No amount of probing or prying, copying or recreating will exhaust the object. It always has some hidden reserve. Without such a reserve, the relations between objects could not continue to surprise. We are on occasion held in a trance by such a selection of things. For sometimes objects conspire to expand and contract space and vision, doing so by relying on both the apparent features of each individual object, and the more transcendent features of the experience of the whole." all text taken from press release, parts/whole

The wrists acknowledge the object's empirical place in linear time. A place which is at no moment more complete, and at the end of which, awaits an unavoidable fate: that of its devolvement. Despite this material dissolution, the concept persists through time's weathering wash. The life of the object is to exist as we do, between two bookends, gathered up and let out." ---------------------

Kassay’s previous silver paintings used depth, light and relief to activate the spaces they were presented in. These shimmering surfaces have a surprising yet deliberate absence of reflection as well as hints of deposit where the silver oxidized to reveal brown, reminiscent of Yves Klein’s fire paintings. Here the new work also surprises with groupings of canvases in blush tones and pure silver deposit, using similar minimal restraint yet differing in scale, shape and tonal variation. New to the work is that its purpose and placement is meant to suggest dancers in a ballet studio or a choreographed performance. A large silver work on paper with a ballet barre placed in front of it operates as a visual anchor with the smaller works dancing around it. This installation conceit engages Kassay’s interest in artist collaborations such as Rauschenberg and Johns designing sets for Merce Cunningham performances and an abundant history of multi media collaborations. It evokes these ideas, but also takes into consideration the gallery as a place for practice, repetition and the natural gradients provided by the light, the white walls and the work itself." <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6020/6012651309_5b59eef201_b.jpg"> </a> -------------------------
