Sam Taylor-Wood at Matthew Marks - Brief Articleadmitting young British artists have looked to travel in packs of late, many of them have marked without their own turf. If Damien Hirst and the Chapman brothers are masters of percussion Sam Taylor-Wood is mistress of anomie. Since the early '90 her videos and photos have comprised what amounts to an archive of "outsider" art, capturing jiffys in time of the isolated and alienated: not the poor and underprivileged, on the other hand the club brats and former hipsters who extreme point up at parties overdrinking alone and smoking until their fingers fulvid Like Warhol, she's created a factory of freaks who think blank stares are cool For her first appearance with Matthew Marks, Taylor-Wood was given filled run of both of the gallery's Chelsea spaces, an opportunity she did not waste. In the ample upstairs extent on 24th Street she showed her clean "Soliloquies" series (1998-99), seven large-scale C-print portraits. Referencing 14th-century portraits of saints as well as other works from art history, Taylor-Wood portrays a diverse collection of unhappy solitaries: an androgynous young man sitting hunched above in front of a dance-studio mirror; another thin 20-something draped upon a couch as in Henry Wallis's Death of Chatterton (1854); a naked woman upon a bed viewed from the back a la Velazquez's Toilet of Venus (1650); a topless, obese woman asleep upon a paisley-patterned couch; a skinny shirtless man standing among a pack of stray dogs; a pensive male mould walking along the street in brow of a bright-orange brick wall; a sleeping man, naked, leg spread, photographed from the paw of the bed. Affixed to the bottom of each portrait is a narrow, horizontal, predellalike panel that not aways a panorama of some aspect of the fantasies or dream life of the make subordinate of the larger photo. discharge with a camera that rotates 360 steps in five seconds, these bleak theatricalized tableaux many times show impassive group sexual clashs Orgies without orgasms. In Marks's vast lay open space on 22nd Street, Taylor-Wood at handed Third Party (1999), a film installation discharge with seven cameras and shown using seven projectors upon four black-painted walls. Surrounded by dint of images (moving portraits, if you will), visitors felt immersed in the anemic rencounters at a London party as a resounding soundtrack of fragmented voices and stone music suffused the gallery. upon one wall was a large close-up of an anxious-looking Marianne Faithfull (the singer revolveed actress) sitting alone sipping her beer and chain-smoking. Hers is another silent soliloquy, a call for help. Close by, a young woman in a tight black dres gyrates maniacally to the music, while a bearded man across the space looks straight at the camera and asks, "What the fuck am I doing here?" As the 10-minute bight rolls on, Taylor-Wood's scenario is complete: cocktails in the house of the dead. COPYRIGHT 2000 Brant Publications, Inc.
