Over het boek
Exhibition catalog for Tracy Stuckey's show, Suburban Cowboy. Tracy Stuckey provokes the viewer and sets them adrift in his new body of works inspired by Owen Wister’s novel The Virginian. Updating and subsequently deconstructing the West of yesterday, Stuckey portrays an updated West that is almost an accessory. Mining divergent sources for these works, Stuckey, in one painting, A Place for Jane, pulls a composition from a Jetsons episode of the 1960’s where Jane is sent to a Dude planet for rest. Gender roles are examined making a stark contrast to the myth of hero cowboy and the damsel or schoolmarm. A clever mash-up of Humor, satire and theatricality make these paintings a delightful way to grapple with the complexity and multiplicity of today’s west. The catalog has painting highlights from previous years as well as an essay from Zoe Larkins, assistant curator of Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum.
