YVON LAMBERT NEW YORK PRESENTS:

MILTOS MANETAS

January 21 2006—February 18 2006

Opening January 21 2006

Yvon Lambert New York is pleased to announce the exhibition Dogs and Cables by Miltos Manetas.

The exhibition will present two new paintings and three Websites, including Jesus Swimming ( www.jesusswimming.com ), which was exhibited at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville in Paris (2000) and the Valencia Biennial (2005) in Valencia Spain.

Miltos Manetas is a painter of contemporary life. He is one of the first artists to use computers, videogames, and contemporary lifestyle as his model. According to Lev Manovich, the fact that information society is difficult to represent visually does not mean it cannot be done. He explains that only few artists have attempted, and Manetas is one of them. Representing what humans do--stare into computer screens; type on keyboards; play computer games; and operate various other human-computer interfaces—seem only natural. Yet, Manetas is the only contemporary painter who made this reality the focus of his art.

Beginning from his early work, Powerbook (1995), to the latest Internet Paintings (2001-2005), and  Girls in Nike (2005), his work is a document of the chaotic sensation of living and interacting with the physical evidence of technological development. Manetas abstracts the concrete forms of the everyday realities with a soft color palette and flowing brushwork.

In 2000 Manetas presented the new art movement titled, “Neen”. “Neenstars” are considered an undefined generation of visual artists. They believe that Websites function not only as a new media space but can also exist as a work of art. In this exhibition, Manetas proposes Websites as paintings. Instead of “oil on linen”, it is “flash animations on linen”. Each Website is projected onto a canvas at the same size as the paintings exhibited. Dogs and Cables (2006), presented in this exhibition is the last from the series titled, “cable paintings” begun in 1996. The Website, Fourfortyfour.com , shown in this exhibition is based on the Neen theory of time. Times such as 11:11, 3:33, 15:15, etc are remarkable moments; there are 44 possibilities in a day, and at each such instance, the animation in Fourfortyfour.com changes and produces a one-minute music piece written by British composer, Gnac.
