Conversations

POST-AI PAINTINg

Avery Singer in conversation with Dieter Buchhart

Avery Singer—whose work has been shaped by her interest in the relationship between painting and technology—has in recent years been creating increasingly complex, site-specific installations. For her new exhibition “War_overlays” at Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Limmatstrasse, Singer has transformed the gallery’s upper floor into a casino-like environment, overlaid with an atmosphere of surveillance and control. In new paintings, the figure of the poker player, a frequent protagonist in her recent work, emerges as a proxy for the artist: solitary, strategic and ever attuned to risk.

To make these new paintings, Singer worked with AI-based tools to generate source imagery, drawn in part from contemporary warfare and its related visual culture. Ahead of the exhibition, she sat down with art historian and curator Dieter Buchhart for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, the instability of contemporary imagery and what it means to be an artist in the 21st century.
