JULIETTE DUMAS
Strategies of Resistance 07
2016
plastic tarp, nails, rocks
dimensions to be announced after installation
this is a work made "in situ"
In her series entitled “Strategies of Resistance,” natural materials, such as stone and water, are held in a state of suspension by plastic sheets. The equilibrium and the tension of the work rely on the balance between the number of nails used and the weight of the stones, mirroring a political movement of resistance.

Juliete Dumas, Erased Painting 2 & Frozen Plates (Collaboration with the Cold), (No Safe Harbor), installation view at ART 3
With “Frozen Plates: Collaboration with the Cold”, Dumas pours emulsion on metal plates which she then leaves outside when temperatures drop below freezing. In time, the plates reveal drawings created by the frost. The end results are black and white silver gelatin prints that capture those ephemeral creations.
