SWING STATE embraces our world of uncertainty. As a phenomenally layered group exhibition capturing the gray area that thrives between extremes, SWING STATE will open on Sunday, April 7th 2013 and unveil the motion behind the pendulum. That awkward space within the center of left and right, old and new - including abstraction and figuration - will be represented by the work of 13 New York based artists.

Fabian Marcaccio

Fabian Marcaccio’s work investigates whether the traditional medium of painting can survive in the digital age. He has used printmaking and transfer techniques to make paintings and became well know in the 1990s for his sculptural manipulations of the two-dimensional surface of canvas. More recently, he has infused his painting process with digital and industrial techniques. The results are environmental works, animations, and “Paintants” that combine digitally manipulated imagery, sculptural forms, and three dimensionally painted surfaces.
