Reena Spaulings first appeared in 2004 as a fictional character in Bernadette Corporation’s novel of the same name, the artist emerged from the daily operation of Reena Spaulings Fine Art in New York, a gallery founded by John Kelsey & Emily Sundblad. While exploring the ambiguities of her double identity as both artist and dealer, Reena Spaulings continuously confounds art-world hierarchies and divisions of labour, questioning institutional assumptions in a playful but highly pointed manner. Reena Spaulings’ series of marble surf sculptures consists of scale replicas of surfboards re-installed in the exhibition space. The material transference of the object to a “marble version” and its elongated oval shape evokes Brancusi’s smooth and continuous forms.
