ELEEN LIN : MYTHOPOEIA

Emerson Dorsch Gallery is delighted to announce Mythopeia, a solo exhibition by Eleen Lin. The exhibition presents eight paintings selected from her eponymous series, a nearly decade-long project interpreting Herman Melville’s mid-nineteenth-century novel Moby Dick. Born in Taiwan, Lin grew up in Thailand, speaking three languages, Mandarin, Taiwanese and Thai, while studying English at school. She studied painting in London at the Slade School of Art and at Yale University in Connecticut. It is through lenses of numerous cultures, translations, and mistranslations that Lin vividly renders fathomable scenes inspired by Melville’s magnum opus. Because of the book’s profile as a Great American Novel, introducing American culture to English learners abroad, Lin’s representations of the book become a foil for socio-political commentary. With a combination of acrylic wash, especially to represent water, and acutely detailed illustrations of flora, fauna and pattern, Lin’s painting style alludes to and represents a vast range of Asian, North American and European techniques, lore, and motifs. Her intoxicating paintings immerse viewers in a dizzying sea of signs, creating the conditions for openness, global understanding and seeing beauty. Together, they are an opus worth returning to again and again.

At eight by twelve feet, Eleen Lin’s massive painting Phantom of Life anchors the exhibition. A solitary figure navigates an ocean in a dinghy. They are lashed to the boat with their back to the viewer. This is Ishmael, the character who narrates the tale of Moby Dick and who is the lone person at its beginning and end. Clad in a silk floral shirt and blue trousers, the figure’s fabulousness marks them as Lin’s, not Melville’s, Ishmael. They gaze past the boat’s stern toward a distant horizon where smoke snakes up into magenta sun rays. The act of looking back inevitably conjures an immigrant’s paradox.

An immigrant’s survival depends upon a certain commitment to assimilation, attending to learning and taking on the habits of one’s new land. At the same time, immigrants often maintain ties to the land they leave behind, if only in memory, and the contradictions between these vectors can tear at the soul. As the painting’s title suggests, there are ghosts at play, in the figurative and, tragically, literal sense. In one’s wake: the place and people one leaves behind no longer exist. They have moved on, changed or died. At the bow, in front and behind: a phantom flails in the trough of a cresting wave, recalling those who have attempted and failed the ocean crossing in recent and distant pasts.

Lin embraces the ink-like viscosity of acrylic thinned with water and embellishes initial washes, which naturally take the amorphous forms of water, with fine detail work to represent saltwater’s foment. Cascading shapes on the wave’s surface echo the phantoms’ mirage-like shimmer. The drowning man’s outline, along with those of amorphous sea creatures, suggest the borders of Laos as it arches over Thailand. One may not be able to attribute either figure to a specific character in Moby Dick. A disembodied limb surfaces aft. Lurking below them all, a putrid green form has a whale-like shadow just barely discernible beneath the surface. The fey figure stirs the water, and rose-buds float on top, like sprinkles.

Melville’s characterizations relied on a blend of keen observation, fascination, myth, racism and respect that often only conveyed part of the person, not all. These misapprehensions are not unlike the elusive understanding of the whale. Lin’s project aligns these misunderstandings with the immigrant experience and human existence writ large. She re-read the English edition when she was in graduate school in Connecticut, a mere 200 miles from the Pequod’s launch, because she said signs of the tale were everywhere. What was this book? Whale toys, slogans on bars, catch-phrases imbricated in conversation, all of it skated the surface suggesting something deeper. She realized that many Americans who referenced the book had not read it and understood it only through word-of-mouth, a mistranslation of its own. Asking her Asian friends, she realized that they often mistook the book for Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, an entirely different tale of a battle of wills between man and fish.

At times it takes force to knock humans into seeing anew. Lin refuses tricks of exculpating transcendence. Rather, she floods the field, stunning the viewer with a surfeit of references from literature, literary theory, philosophy, Eastern and Western art history, and global current affairs that brook no single allegory. The water’s toil, the trompe l’oeil, the pattern work, Lin’s aesthetics wrap up her program, leaving most of us mortals on a boat at sea.

Limits of knowledge unite us all, it seems, but so does the imperfect dynamic quest to learn more. Ishmael and Lin stand alone as guides.

Artforum: Eleen Lin and Tammie Rubin

Print Summer 2022

Eleen Lin and Tammie Rubin insightfully reinterpreted fiction and history in “Mythodical” at C24 Gallery. The title parses the show’s themes of personal and cultural mythologies—both the making and undoing thereof—and how each artist brings method to that madness. The curatorial pairing of Lin (painter) and Rubin (sculptor) was a complementary one, with each presenting work that spanned several years, demonstrating how their individual practices have evolved and deepened over time.

The Brooklyn Rail: Eleen Lin and Tammie Rubin: Mythodical

April 22, 2022

In Mythodical, the heavens drip into the sea, horns hang from the ceiling in a silent siren, and marshy debris on canvas and entangled sculpture suggest mysteries unseen. This is the world built by painter Eleen Lin and ceramicist Tammie Rubin in their collaborative exhibition at C24. The space is drenched in a sense of story, nodding to the literary and consumerist myths Lin and Rubin set out to explore. The two wield color to lull us into a state of play, only to discover we might actually be drowning in a riptide. Lin and Rubin’s work suggest the narratives that inform our lives come at a cost.

MYTHODICAL: Works by Eleen Lin and Tammie Rubin
Join us on Thursday evening, March 17th, from 6:00-8:00pm for the opening of Mythodical, featuring work by Taiwanese-born painter Eleen Lin and African-American ceramic artist and educator Tammie Rubin. Lin’s body of work is a nearly decade-long project investigating the unlikely results of a series of mistranslations between English and Mandarin versions of the classic novel, Moby Dick. Rubin’s sculptures are fantastical totemic objects created from ubiquitous forms found in the visual language of modern consumer culture.
Both artists explore the evolution of myths that emerge through total immersion in mainstream narratives, their vision manifested through a deeply methodical and detailed creative process. Their respective identities offer additional layers of perspective about both the immigrant and ethnic minority experience in the United States, and how essential these points of view are to developing truths that cross both time and geographic boundaries. Together, their work points to a shift away from a culture that centers the majority experience and designates all other perspectives as “other,” while providing fascinating commentary on some of modern society’s most cherished myths and traditions.
Please note that we will still be asking for proof of vaccination before entry to the opening reception. We appreciate your cooperation, as we adapt to the latest changes in city regulations regarding Covid safety.

OUR CONSTELLATIONS: ASTRAL EMBRACES AND TACTUAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Guest Curated Exhibition featuring Fountainhead Residency Alumni

“our constellations: astral embraces and tactual consciousness” is a group exhibition curated by Terri C Smith featuring selected alumni from Miami’s Fountainhead Residency. This is the first in a biennial series of curated exhibitions at Emerson Dorsch Gallery that includes selected Fountainhead alumni. The exhibition will be on view from August 7 to September 11, 2021.
The artists in “our constellations” conjure a sense of connection through materials, symbols, and narratives that are in tune with touch, natural environments, and the liminal, sometimes spiritual, energies that operate between our interior emotional lives and external states. Their strategies around touch include: enticing us to touch objects through sensuous materiality; presenting magical, yet untouchable, subjects like the moon and stars; and creating narrative works that ask us to contemplate the role of touch and gestures in our intimate connections with people and places.

Artists: Beverly Acha, Stephen Arboite, Melissa Brown, Andy Coolquitt, Katrina Coombs, TJ Dedeaux-Norris, GeoVanna Gonzalez, Karsten Krejcarek, Eleen Lin, Adia Millett, Cheryl Pope, Liz Rodda, Sheena Rose, Kristen Schiele, Meredyth Sparks, Chiffon Thomas, and Michelle Weinberg. Curated by Terri C Smith.

Suppose we say that society is divided by an ever-widening gulf, that discourse has flattened, broken down or bottomed out, that we can no longer communicate without an agreed upon frame of reference. The problem of how we determine what is true, is less academic than ever. Art is the realm of the subjective, often, but more essentially a conduit for shared experience. Can art lead us out of this conundrum?
A substantial presentation of the work of nine artists, Drawings, Paintings, Ceramics and Sculpture that all suggest some method or means of analysis.

Yana Zorina, a Neuroscientist, recreates microscopic images of the neural cortex, the optical nerve, and the hippocampus in tiny glass beads. As her beads become analogs for pixels or cells, the images explicate the structures involved in seeing, knowing, and forming memories.

Other artists adopt the methods of science, measure, contain, differentiate and collect samples. Juliana Haliti’s Air Jars encapsulate the conflicting storylines of pandemic into evidence, a stance of objectivity toward the contributing factors that intensifies its weight. Rachael Wren’s paintings construct a phenomenology of exceptional lighting conditions within the interstices of intersecting linear demarcations. Reflected and refracted light is broken down into essential particles. When a tool of analysis or consumption is used to craft a tool of analysis or consumption, then they sprout more tools like fractals, it looks something like Hiroshi Shafer’s carved wood sculptures.

Being herself the natural force that sculpts material Alison Kudlow organically arrives at a result similar to that of evolution, a seed pod for an as of yet unknown progeny.

Sarah La Puerta compresses epistemologies of musical notation, playing cards and plagues into pages of winding calligraphic script. Eleen Lin’s Mythopoeia series explores the foundational myth of map v. territory, Moby Dick. And James Mercer’s painting Fantasy James points the way to a hopeful new future

Found in Translation

Artist | Eleen Lin

Found譯

展覽藝術家｜林怡伶

Curated by Janusz Jaworski

Exhibition/展期：October 4 - November 1, 2019

Reception/開幕：Friday, October 4, 6 - 8pm

For Immediate Release

Gallery 456 is pleased to present Found in Translation, a selection of paintings and drawings from Eleen Lin's current body of work exploring themes of cultural hybrids and diasporas, memory, sexuality, and the inadequacies of translations between cultures and eras.

Inspired by Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, and mistranslations in the Mandarin version of the novel, Lin's stunning and often playful imagery hooks the viewer, taking them into complex contemporary worlds a dream’s width away from our own.

The images within the works are developed over many iterations via the source texts' links to current social/political issues; processes involving free association, wordplay, and slang; research of whaling and whale-related mythologies; and Lin's personal experiences as an immigrant artist.

Lin works with a mix of acrylic and oil medium on canvas. After staining raw canvas with acrylic to create a watercolor and Chinese ink painting-like backdrop, clear gesso and layers of transparent and opaque oil paints are applied to break into the fluidity of the background, giving it a collage-like effect. This effect simulates experiences of a digital world where multiple representations and images exist simultaneously or in rapid succession. However, Lin also leaves parts of the canvas raw, providing the viewer with a tether to the physically of the painting, and echos of maritime aesthetics (specifically sailcloth).

These physical and imagistic layers allow the viewer to become an audience discovering narratives within the paintings instead of simply being a spectator - even if they are not familiar with Moby-Dick. For those audience members who are familiar with the novel, multilingual, or have other connections to an Asian culture, there are many additional depths to discover.

新聞稿

456畫廊很榮幸的展出藝術家林怡伶個展 Found譯。這是林怡伶近期一系列油畫跟繪畫的創作，她的作品採用當代跨文化語境中的視覺符號，重新闡述美國經典文學作品白鯨記的故事內容，描繪了一種在不同的傳統之間漂流，孤獨遊牧般的經歷，並且挑戰了文化界線與當代環境的相關性。這些重構不只包含當代社會新的表象和意義，探索了不同文化和世代翻譯的不足之處，也表達了移民社群，記憶和性的思維。

經由Herman Melville Moby-Dick(白鯨記)的啟發，以及中文小說版翻譯的隔閡與限制，藝術家使用令人驚奇和趣味性十足的圖像抓住觀眾的目光，將他們的視角帶入多元化的當代繪畫世界，拓展了觀眾自我的想像空間。

作品中的圖像是連結當前社會與政治的問題，經由各種不同文本翻譯而創造出來的, 其中涉及自由聯想，文字遊戲，地方俚語，捕鯨以及鯨魚相關的神話傳說;加上藝術家本人身為移民藝術家的個人經歷的總合想法。

藝術家在畫布上巧妙使用了壓克力和油彩。首先使用壓克力暈染畫布，勾畫出水彩和中國水墨畫般的背景後。應用透明和厚實的油彩,分離背景彩墨的流動性, 展現出拼貼般的效果，這種連續堆疊多重影像集合在電腦螢幕上的視覺印象，模擬了數位世界的體驗。然而，藝術家也留下了部分粗棉畫布為呼應航海相關的連結-特別是帆布。

這一些真實與想像融合而成的影像，會讓不熟悉白鯨記故事情節的觀眾在觀看畫作中很快融入繪畫般敘述性的意涵而不僅僅只是一個旁觀者而已。至於那些熟悉這本美國經典文學，有著多語言能力或與擁有亞洲文化背景的觀賞者來說，將會有身歷其境般深刻的啟示。

關於藝術家：

林怡伶出生於台灣台北市，在泰國求學成長， 2008年畢業於美國耶魯大學（Yale University School of Art)獲得油畫和版畫系藝術碩士, 2005年在倫敦大學斯萊德（Slade School of Fine Art)學院取得油畫系藝術學士。她的作品曾在各大美術館展出，包含紐約布朗克斯美術館 (2015); 紐約皇后美術館(2012); 中國廣東美術館 (2007); 韓國光州藝術美術館 (2007)。她也曾在多個國家辦過個展。展場包括維州Craddock-Terry藝廊 (2016); 肯州Doris Ulmann 藝廊 (2015); 紐約Garrison藝術中心 (2014)。此外她的作品也曾多次在全世界多個畫廊巡迴展出，現今更有眾多美術館機構收藏她的作品。

Seeing the World

July 24th - October 26th, 2018

Alan Caswell Collier / Pamela Crimmins / Peter Doig / Red Grooms / Lewis Koch / Jeff Chien Hsing Liao / Eleen Lin / Hans Jörg Mayer / Vik Muniz / Don Nice / Jules Olitski / Neil Slavin / Neil Welliver

Seeing the World is a celebration of two favorite summer pastimes - travel and leisure. Featuring drawings, paintings, prints and photographs by international artists from the Bank's collection and works on loan, the exhibition conjures imaginary journeys as well as experiential ones. Like a road trip ranging across time and place, each vantage point has a story with a point of view. When travelling in a car, some landscapes out the window are mediated by human presence while others feature long vistas across a people-less expanse.

Games, food, the backyard pool, and the beach evoke universal stories of home, family and summer activities. Jeff Liao's photographs create elongated, slightly vertiginous experiences of baseball fans at a Mets stadium game, while Pamela Crimmons uses underwater cameras to capture children at play. Neil Slavin's portraits of hot dog vendors document the urban experience, while Peter Doig's loners against the backdrop of nature look awkward and slightly menacing.

Like travelling through dream states or memory-scapes, the narrative jumps and changes, vacillating between fact and fiction. The title is from a painting by Eleen Lin, who uses the allure of fiction and characters from Moby Dick to create narratives and cross-cultural translations of Melville's classic novel mixed with Chinese mythology. Her paintings about journeys - of people and whales - and of the mind - evoke a variety of possible meanings and the art of lore. To really "see the world" is a cumulative, self-interpretive experience. The exhibition, Seeing the World is an open invitation to celebrate imagination, visual play and artistic invention.
