Chloe Piene (born 1972) is a visual artist known primarily for her drawings. [1] [2]
Piene received her BA in Art History with a concentration in Northern Renaissance Art from Columbia University and her MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London. [3] [4] Her work was included in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. [5]
Her drawings have been described as "brutal, delicate, figurative, forensic, erotic, and fantastic". [6] [7] A recurring theme is Death and the Maiden (1517) by Hans Baldung Grien. [8] In her charcoal drawings we encounter not Death and the Maiden, but rather the Maiden as Death." [9]
Her work has made various and diverse associations with prisoners, love letters, neolithic burial schema failure, history, heroic transformation, and epic sagas such as the Finnish Kalevala. [10] Her drawings have been described as "brutal, delicate, figurative, forensic, erotic, and fantastic" [11]
One of her many art historical references is Death and the Maiden (1517) by Hans Baldung Grien. In this, a panicked maiden is seized by a kiss from a grotesque and rotten death. "Yet with Piene, the two mythological figures melt together, since in her charcoal drawings we encounter not Death and the Maiden, but rather the Maiden as Death." [12] [13]
Her large-scale video works utilize the greater sensory impact of noise, time, darkness, and misrecognition to visibly extend into the more subterranean levels of experience. [14] Her video “Blackmouth” premiered at the 2004 Whitney Biennia [15] l. “You’re Gonna Be My Woman” was shown at Kunsthalle Bern in 2003 [16] and “Little David” for the first time at Marianne Boesky Gallery in 2000. [17] Her military triptych “I’m Hit”, “Gun” and “Shrapnel” 2015 premiered at Suzanne Vielmetter Projects in Los Angeles.
Chloe Piene's exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery (2000) included drawings, video and a live performance in which nine former convicts and nine women read from correspondence Piene had with a prisoner serving a 99-year sentence, the performance stemmed from her publication from the correspondences entitled "Lovelady, Texas". [18]
In 2015 Piene's videos and drawings entitled "Valkyrie" were presented at the Vielmetter Los Angeles. [19]

Charles Gaines is an American visual artist, whose work interrogates the discourse of aesthetics, politics, and philosophy. Taking the form of drawings, photographic series and video installations, the work consistently involves the use of systems, predominantly in the form of the grid, often in combination with photography. His work is rooted in conceptual art – in dialogue with artists such as Sol LeWitt, Lawrence Weiner and Mel Bochner – and Gaines is committed to its tenets of engaging cognition and language. As one of the only African-American conceptual artists working in the 1970s, a time when political expressionism was a prevailing concern among African-American artists, Gaines was an outlier in his pursuit of abstraction and non-didactic approach to race and politics. There is a strong musical thread running through much of Gaines' work, evident in his repeated use of musical scores as well in his engagement with the idea of indeterminacy, as similar to John Cage and Sol LeWitt. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
