Eva Hesse

Repetition 19 lll. 1968. Fiberglass and polyester resin, nineteen units, Each 19 to 20 1/4" (48 to 51 cm) x 11 to 12 3/4" (27.8 to 32.2 cm) in diameter.

"Repetition Nineteen, III comprises nineteen bucketlike forms, all the same shape but none exactly alike. Like many artists of her generation, Hesse explored repetition as a compositional strategy. However, rather than relying on the strict, hard-edged geometry of Minimalism, she deployed softer, handmade forms. This work is made of translucent industrial fiberglass, one of the artist’s favorite materials."

Catherine Lee

Diminutive Painting #4 of 45 (black C-5) (detail) (1977)
Ink and acrylic ground on canvas, grommets
14 ¾ x 18 in (37.4 x 45.7 cm)

"Obsessive and repetitive markings over a strict grid structure characterize the early paintings by Catherine Lee. Drawing from Minimalist practices, Lee’s purity of form has intellectual rigor but evokes the tenacity and sensitivity of the human hand."

Jill Townsley

"This exhibition by Jill Townsley, is a culmination of work carried out as part of her research into the role of repetition in the process of art production. Each of the artworks explore ideas of repetitive labour and its significance to the art object. The exhibition consists of sculpture, video, film drawing and installation.

All the works are an accumulation of hundreds of hours of repeated actions. Mind bogglingly tedious and insignificant actions repeated thousand of times. Actions such as: looping wire, scribbling, gluing polystyrene beads or tying 3 spoons together with a rubber band 3,091 times.

Some work exists only in the moment, temporally changing, a culmination of moments, repeating over time. Some works are a result of thousands of unstable repeated units, each precariously balanced on one another to make a whole sculpture. Other works are only offered as a record of process, exploring time in a virtual or parallel timeframe.

The body of work describes the logical application of repetitive process, illogically extended beyond the usual limits, producing work that sometimes in the end destroys itself, while still being generative of new and often surprisingly beautiful moments"
