Ana Cardoso writes: "Acts are for Actors refers to
abstraction as a process or capacity that reveals an ongoing performance in
every object, material form or diagram. An artist is an actor. The works in the
show have in common the fact that their presence is revealed as a fact of
material manipulation and time convergence. They are all residues of actions
and meta-actions. As Stella Adler used to say, 'We are what
we do, not what we say.'"
This is Ana CardosoÕs second presentation at the gallery.
She previously had a solo show at Southfirst
in 2008 and has shown extensively at the Emily Harvey Foundation, New York.
