The endlessly inventive surfacealways abutting the material supportremains frontal and carpeted in pulsating and shifting patterns.

On September 21, Janine Antoni will unveil I am fertile ground, a site-specific commission at Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery. Marking the Cemetery’s first major artistic commission, Antoni’s work will be installed in the historic underground Catacombs, and will be accompanied by a series of public programs. Visit the link in the bio to find out more. In I am fertile ground, Antoni uses the language of religious icons to pay homage to the body's wisdom. She captures emotio...nally resonant gestures that remind us that bodily positions invite spiritual states. As the artist describes, "I gild the active embodiment of the spirit, paying reverence to the knowledge of the body itself, buried in muscle memory." Each work enshrines a gesture, rendering it both exalted and fragile. #JanineAntoni #IAmFertileGround #GreenWoodCemetery #LuhringAugustine Image: Janine Antoni, I open the gates, 2019, Mixed media gilded with 24 karat gold leaf, 23 x 25 7/8 x 2 1/4 inches (58.42 x 65.72 x 5.72 cm).
