Indipendenza, STANDARD (Oslo) and Mehdi Chouakri are pleased to announce Reciprocal Score, a two person exhibition of work by Tauba Auerbach and Charlotte Posenenske.

 

Taking the notion of true co-authorship advanced by Posenenske’s D and DW square tubes series (each time theses works are exhibited the components are assembled in configurations determined by the curator, collector, the public or as in this case, a fellow artist) Auerbach endeavored to make an exhibition in the form of dialog with no initiator. Each artist’s work is both call and response—a score for the other to play.

 

Making several trips to Rome in preparation, Auerbach incorporated architectural structure and ornament from around the city into the exhibition. Twisting, looping and helical gestures emerge from the right-angle geometry of Auerbach’s woven paintings and Posenenske’s square profile industrial components. Two pieces made with custom rolling stamps riff on the iterative, cellular properties shared by Greek and Roman fretwork, Posenenke’s sculptures and Auerbach’s weavings.

 

The show will be accompanied by a corresponding rubber-stamped, plotter-cut book by the same title, published by Auerbach’s imprint, Diagonal Press.
