The painter turns to assemblage at Artists SpaceI’VE ALWAYS BEEN CHARMED by the brag attributed to Picasso: “I don’t seek, I find.” It feels true, in his case, but also reminds me of those fellow students who used to say, “Oh, I never study for the exam”: Probably they were secretly cramming after convincing everyone else there was no need to do so.

FRANCESCA HUMMLER’S simple lapidary gestures (green logs in a bathtub, a toy house burning on a stovetop) are, as Robert Frost wrote poems ought to be, “as different as possible” from one another. Like those of Douglas Huebler and Hiroshi Sugimoto, her procedural poetics contrasts with the more clinical and scientific spirit of typology that often dominates conceptual photography (a legacy of August Sander, among others), tapping into a Teutonic deadpan humor à la Peter Fischli and David Weiss.
