Jonathan Runcio
Shadow Work 


March 6 - April 18, 2026
Reception Friday, March 6 5-8pm

These geometries are local, yet distant — arm’s length
Built up and vacant
Direct, not iffy

I often think about the overproduction and preservation of artworks, the footprint these practices leave behind, their cost, and their environmental impact.

For these most recent works, I’ve found fertile ground in the used-up material culture generated by the art logistics industry.
Found objects, charged by market forces get outlined and painted.
Then outlined again.
Not the verso but a shadow version.
Imprinted and attached like an appendix.
There is friction in the balance.
Static in the copy.
This is shadow work.
