To produce the paintings on view in <i>2010</i>, Auerbach manipulates large pieces of raw canvas into various configurations through folding or rolling. She then lays the canvas out flat and paints its surface with an industrial spray gun aimed at different angles to achieve a trompe l&rsquo;oeil effect. By creating an object in which two supposedly discrete states&mdash;flatness and three dimensionality&mdash;are merged, Auerbach confronts the limitations between these states, revealing an ambiguity that is often overlooked.</p></div> Whitney Museum of American Art Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:19:12 -0400 http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/TaubaAuerbach http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/TaubaAuerbach
