Taney Roniger                               
 March 4 – April 8, 2023
 
 Opening Reception:
 Saturday, March 4, 5-8pm­­

Artist talk:
 Friday, April 7, 6pm

Studio 34 is pleased to  present Drawing is a Verb, an exhibition of large-scale drawings by  Taney Roniger. Made over the last two years, the works explore not what  drawings can mean or signify but rather what they can do to the body of the  viewer.

Inspired by a book by  Sarah Robinson titled Architecture is a Verb, Roniger began the series  by thinking about how conditions of light can alter moods and states of  consciousness. Soon she began thinking about spatial conditions as well,  coming to focus on spaces that evoke our earliest ancestry as a species.  Using charcoal because of the unique way it interacts with her paper’s  surface, she began making drawings meant to evoke these earliest conditions.  In the resulting series, settings such as the ocean, the horizon, and the  forest become recurring motifs, appearing not in their literal form but by  subtle suggestion. With their quietly rhythmic and luminous presence, the  drawings communicate a deep sense of home.

For Roniger, the  experience of the viewer is primary. “So much art these days is about the  identity of the artist,” she says. “My work, by contrast, is all about the  viewer. I want to make things that eclipse me altogether, things that speak  of – and to – the body experiencing them.” In conceiving of her work as  speaking to the body, Roniger’s ultimate aim is to create a physical  experience of our continuity with the natural world. “If I do my job right,”  she says, “even the viewer will be eclipsed. Ideally, all that will be left  will be a deeply felt sense of belonging to the world.”

In conjunction with the  exhibition, the gallery will host a conversation between Roniger and artist,  writer, and curator Daniel Hill. The event will take place on Friday, April 7^th  at 6:00pm.
