Reena Spaulings presents an exhibition of new paintings by Wade Guyton. With Supply Chain, the artist’s Bowery studio comes into focus as both site and a go-to source of continuously updated painterly information: images of the physical place, details of works in progress, close-ups of inkjet printers printing and zoomed-in views of digital bitmaps are fed back through an ongoing process and output as a series of standard-sized works.
[...] The gallery, meanwhile, becomes a kind of double and displacement of the studio, re-staging the site of production as a walk-in image for New York: the hallucination of a Wade Guyton show in lower Manhattan today. Supply Chain involved an epically short walk between the Bowery and East Broadway, back and forth many times… from studio to gallery and back again.
