Nicole Eisenman: Bus Shelter Project November/December 2012

Now celebrating its 15th year presenting experimental contemporary art, Locust Projects is pleased to announce the third annual Bus Shelter Project, part of the Out of the Box public commissions initiative. New York-based painter Nicole Eisenman has been selected to create a new artwork that will appear on bus shelters in the Design District and Miami Beach in November and December 2012. Conceived specifically for Locust Projects, Intentions, 2012 continues the artist’s series of playfully erudite collaged monotypes that nod to art history. In it, a gestural white-on-black portrait, resembling one of Calder’s drawings in wire, is framed by a greasy golden halo. The face is flanked by two collaged totems, each a stack of cut-out figures gleaned from pop culture and high culture, coded hieroglyphics that ask the viewer to “read” the image.
