<p>This catalog is published on the occasion Jennifer Bartlett's exhibition from her most recent series Hospital Paintings. Art critic and poet Raphael Rubinstein writes "From the beginning of her career she has been a restless and relentless transgressor of boundaries, among them figuration/abstraction, image/text, painting/sculpture. In her latest body of work-paintings and pastels that depict views from the windows of a New York City hospital, as well as scenes of hospital corridors and doorways-Bartlett continues to problematize her medium, even as she revels in its materials and genres."Working from a series of snapshots taken during an extended 2012 hospital stay along the East River in Manhattan, Bartlett produced a series of pastels and then a subsequent series of oil paintings. This exhibition debuts the paintings- psychologically charged interior and exterior perspectives of the hospital, each with an interrupting colored band and the words HOSPITAL transposed atop the scene. Throughout her career, Bartlett's work has maintained a signature mix of diaristic observational study of the world around her, rule-based conceptual systems for the execution of projects, and an exhaustive play with different media.</p>
