Project Description

Doug Ashford is a New York based artist, teacher and writer whose work considers
exhibition, display and other social production as formal models for speculation
and reconsideration. For many years, as member of Group Material, he produced
exhibitions and public projects that sought to remake the relationship of art to lived
political experience. This creative labour has evolved recently into painted models of
formal arrangements that propose a diagrammatic remaking of social imagination.
Nothing is ever over. This work attempts at modeling how we can refuse to work or
fit, or even to function – while still not losing the beliefs of others.
