James Nares: Online

Past exhibition
January 15 – April 15, 2021
  • Works
  • James Nares
  • Over the course of a five-decade career, Nares has investigated, challenged, and expanded the boundaries of her multi-media practice that encompasses film, music, painting, photography, and performance. She continues to employ various media to explore physicality, motion, and the unfolding of time.

    In the 1980s, Nares began to paint using brushes of her own manufacture to create monumental strokes that appear almost three dimensional in their detail and depth, recording a gestural passage of time and motion across the canvas. The “brushstrokes” have become an essential and most recognizable aspect of Nares’s practice and are a series that she continues to explore and expand upon.

  • About the Artist

    James Nares

    James Nares

    Nares has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, including at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and a career-spanning retrospective at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2019. Her work is included in several prominent public collections, including the Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo, NY; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. A career-spanning survey of her film and video works were presented in 2008 at Anthology Film Archives, New York; and in 2011 at IFC Center, New York. In 2014, Rizzoli published a comprehensive monograph on Nares’ career to date. She has been represented by Kasmin since 1991.

    James Nares is referred to with the pronouns ‘she/her’ in all written materials produced after 2019, when the artist became public with her gender identity. Nares’ ongoing preference is to continue to use the name James Nares in communications relating to her practice.
