JILL MOSER// LECTURE + VISITS // WEDNESDAY 5 JUNE

Jill Moser lecture 

Wednesday 5 June at 6PM

UCLA Graduate Studios

8535 Warner Dr., Culver City, 90232

Jill Moser’s paintings are deceptively lucid and satisfyingly complex. She lays down lines of a single color on a pure white ground and realizes compositions both taut and at ease. The lines are swift yet stilled, fixed and embedded in the residue of a process of erasure and adjustment. Incremental marks and events of the hand establish an environment in which the usual relationship of figure to ground becomes indeterminate. The deep space carved by Moser’s looping, repeating, rhythmic line punctures the ground and establishes a velvety void at the areas where lines converge and give over their identity as line to form.  

Jill Moser lives and works in New York City. She has exhibited since the 1980s in galleries and museums throughout the United States and Europe. Her paintings, drawings and prints are included in many museum and public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The National Gallery of Art, Yale University Art Museum and The Fogg Art Museum. Recent projects include an artist book with poet Charles Bernstein, a collaboration with designer Marion Cage, and print editions with Landfall Press, Mid-Mark Studio, Brand X and Burnet Editions. She has taught at Princeton University, SUNY New Paltz & Empire State College and Virginia Commonwealth University. She is represented by Lennon Weinberg in NYC.

ANNA BETBEZE / VISITS + LECTURE / THURSDAY 30 MAY

Visits and Lecture  

6PM Thursday 30 May

UCLA MFA Graduate Studios

 8535 Warner Dr. Culver City, CA 90232

Using Greek Flokati carpets as a ground for a mix of pigments that range from brilliant to muddy, Anna Betbeze creates unexpectedly textural paintings that verge on the sculptural.

Cutting, tearing, and burning her wool supports with acid dyes (before machine-washing them), the artist creates a dynamic relationship between color-saturated forms and the negative space of the wall behind. Hung from simple nails, the transformed rugs sag and drape under the force of gravity, coming to rest gently on the floor. Conjuring associations as diverse as oriental carpets, the Minimalist felt sculptures of Robert Morris, and 1970s era woven wall hangings, these seductive, layered works offer an expanded take on abstract painting.  

ANNA BETBEZE WAS BORN IN 1980 IN MOBILE, AL, AND GREW UP IN COLUMBUS, GA. SHE RECEIVED HER BFA FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA IN 2003 AND HER MFA FROM YALE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ART IN 2006, WHERE SHE CURRENTLY TEACHES IN THE PAINTING DEPARTMENT. SHE LIVES AND WORKS IN NEW YORK, NY.
