Josephine Meckseper

Featuring twelve works by New York-based artist Josephine Meckseper, the online exhibition provides an insight into Meckseper’s ongoing conceptual investigation into to the cultural currents of our time. The exhibition brings together works created between 2013-2019 with new works completed at the artist’s studios in Manhattan and Long Island, New York, during the global coronavirus pandemic. A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to UN Women USA, in support of women and girls adversely affected by COVID-19 internationally.

Pellea[s], a new film by artist Josephine Meckseper, expresses through cinema the dramatic narratives and relationships contained within the universe of Meckseper's glass and mirror vitrines. The film is a modern adaptation of Maurice Maeterlinck’s play Pelléas et Mélisande and includes footage of the historical event of the 45th American Presidential Inauguration and concurrent protests filmed by the artist. In Meckseper’s adaptation, the narrator refers to Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytical premises of the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real to slowly fragment and deconstruct the mythical world of the original play.

Timothy Taylor, New York is pleased to present an installation of a set from Josephine Meckseper’s film PELLEA[S].

For the summer season, Timothy Taylor is pleased to announce the group exhibition A New Way of Walking, which brings together an eclectic mix of artists and works all united by an interest in the impact of the surrounding environment on the individual. In the 1950’s, the theorist Guy Debord defined the term psychogeography to represent enquiries into the impact of geographical location upon the emotions and behaviour of conscious beings.

On View – a four-part presentation at Timothy Taylor, New York – will unveil an evolving exhibition over the course of a year. Each iteration will take place in the intermediary period between the gallery’s exhibitions, for the duration of approximately one month, with four episodes in total throughout 2017. On View functions as a group exhibition, separated into distinct parts, with the broader conversation between the works revealing itself as the year unfolds.

Timothy Taylor is pleased to announce its second solo exhibition with Josephine Meckseper, which will open during London’s Frieze week.
