CARRIE SCHNEIDER DEEP LIKE CANDICE MADEY and CHART are pleased to co-present DEEP LIKE, a two-venue exhibition with new work by Carrie Schneider.

Schneider’s work challenges the camera’s presumed capacity for documentation and exactitude, employing multiple exposures, light bleeds and obstructions to express an associative collection of images and influences. Abstractions are comprised of images from the artist’s own archive and from intimate and personal moments from her artistic life, including screenshots of her friends’ work and social media feeds, and appropriations of art works that were formative to her ideas about art (Chantal Akerman, Pina Bausch, Francisco Goya, Sigmar Polke and Jeff Wall appear here)–affectionately referred to by the artist as her poetic blazon. Schneider works intuitively, often in the dark hours before sunrise, in a diaristic process akin to automatic writing. She repeats motifs ad infinitum until they are fully exhausted and a new exemplar emerges—one based not on a singular view, but one generated by unexpected commonalities and the affect of others.

Works in DEEP LIKE began with a technical challenge: to build a camera.

Schneider constructed a camera from acrylic sheets, industrial grade plastic and a 300mm Rodenstock lens, and experimented with exposing existing images directly to photographic paper. The process allows ample space for failure and discovery—a shift in Schneider’s work which previously originated with research and defined strategies for making images. The resulting photographs, each a unique print, share the aura of mystery often associated with early experiments in photography, but rediscovered using the visual vocabulary of social media, pop culture and art historical references.

The title of the show, DEEP LIKE, reads like a hashtag and suggests the contemporary desire to express affection and interact with friends and colleagues. However, in practice Schneider’s work digs deeper—offering us, the viewers, the residue of the artist’s hand as it traces memories from a year in isolation, the longing for connection, and the relational-cultural value of art and the conversations it inspires.
