Five writers respond to Clare Goodwin?s painting 'Dennis and Denise' (2018), offering narrative foils to Goodwin?s visual language. Dennis and Denise is neither described nor explained, but serves as a catalyst for literary experimentation. The texts, in turn, illustrate the painting?s wealth of implicit meaning.00Tony Grisoni is a British screenwriter and filmmaker living in London, Rebecca Geldard is a British writer and art critic based in Wales, Chris ƯFite-Wassilak is an American writer and art critic living in London, Frances Loeffler is a British writer and curator based in Canada, Aoife Rosenmeyer is an Irish writer, art critic and translator based in Zürich, J.

Die Publikation erschien anlässlich des gleichnamigen, von der Künstlerin Clare Goodwin kuratierten Ausstellung im Kunstraum Kolin21 in Zug im Jahr 2014. Clare Goodwins Museum des Unerwünschten handelt von Liegengebliebenem – meist wertlosen Dingen, die, nicht mehr gebraucht, doch Konserven vergangenen Lebens sind und vor denen stehend wir, wie Walter Benjamin es formuliert, «mit der verrosteten Seele konfrontiert sind». Im Zentrum ihres Projekts steht die Praxis von Kunstschaffenden, die solche Objekte für ihre kreative Tätigkeit nutzen und sie in ihre ästhetische Arbeit einfliessen lassen.

Clare Goodwin's paintings—reduced as they are to lines, shapes, and patterns—are formally precise, hard-edge compositions. Entitling the works with English names that were commonplace in the past instils the sober sphere of geometric abstraction with humor and a sense of intimacy. The catalog fosters a dialog between newer paintings and a selection of older works, as well as current sculptural works and objects embedded in spatial environments. An insistence on life-scale representation is key to all of Goodwin’s works, i. e. everything depicted is the same size as in reality. This concept has also been applied to the publication, for which Clare Goodwin has produced a series of 48 colored paintings that have been printed in a precise 1:1 size ratio.
