Ted Dodson reviews Cynthia Daignault: There is nothing I could say that I haven’t thought before, recently on view at the Flag Art Foundation, New York.
Dodson writes that the show “collects three separate series of paintings. Together, they continue her signature conceptual methodology, expanding on previous considerations of viewership, representative painting, and existential feminism to include a new imperative—ethics. All art has an ethics of sorts, but not many artists intend to detail the specific boundaries, freedoms, and covenants of that ethic through organizing phenomenological case studies that, in this instance, act as agents of care and consent, contending to where certain limits should be ethically upheld or breached.”
