Thomas Ruff: jpegs ny
Closing soon · Sep 10 – Oct 17
Twelve works from Thomas Ruff's jpegs ny series, begun in 2004, are on view. Ruff gathered internet images of the September 11, 2001 attacks and altered them through compression, reduced resolution and added color, then printed them at the scale of history paintings. Up close they dissolve into pixel grids; from a distance the scenes return. The artist conceived the show as a commemoration marking the attacks' twenty-fifth anniversary.
