Diana Cooper. (Reviews: New York).POSTMASTERS Diana Cooper is known for humble-looking yet labor-intensive works in which bits of acetate and felt, Post-Its, tiny pom-poms, and tacks accumulate and sprawl virus-like across walls and onto the floor. In that respect, the most noteworthy work in her fourth New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of solo exhibition is Speedway, 2000-2002, a piece that moves away from the wall entirely.

In the early 1990s, Andrea Zittel began making art in response to her own surroundings and daily routines, creating functional objects that fulfilled the artist’s needs relating to shelter, food, furniture, , Cooper's work acts as a variation on the "pathetic aesthetic" for this art niche, substituting Magic Markers for paint and brushes and favoring slightly wobbly lines and angles. Speedway, in effect, refashions the architectural model as outsider art. Cooper's technique shows a cause-and-effect approach taken beyond any logical limits. The sheer amount of cutting and pasting, pinning, looping, framing, layering, and coloring in her pieces suggests grade-school projects gone to seed. Yet each one hews to a distinct theme and color. Push Gently, 2002, is Rymanesque in its varying shades of white felt, foamcore, neoprene neoprene: see rubber. neoprene Any of a class of elastomers (rubberlike synthetic organic compounds of high molecular weight) made by polymerization of the monomer 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene and vulcanized (cross-linked, like rubber), by sulfur, , and paper; in another new development, the work incorporates photos of airplanes on tarmacs.

Some writers have described Cooper's works as comments on the fragility and vulnerability of the machines and systems that keep the world humming. Indeed, Hidden Tracks Sabotage the Random, 2001-2002, seems like a massive circuit board hanging on the wall; pieces of clear acetate are grouped together into a twelve-by-seventeen-foot "canvas," strips of red and gray acetate acting as paint, and a number of other components stretch our onto the floor. A cluster of crystalline acetate cubes, covered in networks of red lines, bursts from the middle of the piece. Objects resembling miniature building frameworks also extend across the floor, linked to the wall by long dotted acetate strips that evoke roads, flowcharts, or diagrams in an assembly manual. In fact, one wonders about the length of the assembly instructions for this piece, so complex as to seem like a do-it-yourself supercomputer. However, the title, Hidden Tracks..., which doubles as the exhibition's title, suggests that Cooper's focus is not the vulner ability of systems. Rather, operating from a highly personalized sense of logic, she seems to point beyond machines and technology, to some life force or energy that brings order, or some imperfect semblance thereof, to randomness and chaos. |
