"For an artist, a work is only alive while you're working on it."
--Judy Glantzman
Return in the final week to Dactyl Foundation to see how the largest painting hanging on the far wall has progressed. Judy Glantzman has continued to paint on the center piece of the exhibition. She has made only subtle changes, but visitors to the gallery have noticed the characters coming forward and dropping back. As Ken
Johnson (New York Times) remarked, her work always involves a "hectic, self-excavating, psychology." The form this one takes varies from day to day, painting to painting. The show ends, and the painting is completed Nov 8.

"I returned to the gallery, after hours, to
paint
with two motives. One, having arrived at the unifying structure of the
work,
I am enjoying ( for the first time in my work) the ability to enter this
crazy place I have created of all these little heads, and playing with
them.
For me this means, re articulating them and continuing to create more and
more complex relationships between them. The other motive is that when a
show is hanging on the wall in a clean, well-lit space, it is no longer
alive for the artist. I am continuing to keep the painting alive by
handling it; to touch them is to reanimate them for myself. The question:
when is a painting finished? is a critical one for the artist, and I am
pushing my own boundaries of what that means to me. This painting is
really
finished now, and was after it was hung. Now I get the pleasure of
entering
this mad world, an extension of my head, and playing in it. As the
process
of the work is recorded and made available on the net, the viewer can also
participate in the process of my journey."
