Using a specific palette and process, Scott Short explores the relationship between the Machine and the man-made, the original and the copy, abstraction and representation, the infinite and the temporal. Using an analog copy machine, he makes a black and white photocopy of construction paper. He then makes a photocopy of that photocopy, continuing this process several hundred times. An image ultimately evolves through the degradation of this image to canvas. He then makes a slide of the late generation copy, projects it onto canvas, and painstakingly reproduces the images in black oil paint on white primmer.
This May, Short will have a solo exhibition at Cardi Black Box, in Milan. In 2008, he had his first solo exhibition at Christopher Grimes Gallery and participated in No Information Available; Gladstone Gallery’s inaugural exhibition in Brussels, curated by Francesco Bonami. He had his first museum show at the Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago curated by Hamza Walker in 2007.
