instructions

Andrew Humke paints hypnotic disciplines in bright oils, on large unstretched canvases. Singular concepts are assembled from ancient motifs, a rococo brutalism. The arch, the shell, the flowering bush, sun, star and sky repeat and reverse in colors that float with light. The paintings’ margins are streaked with raucous warm-ups.

Accompanying the paintings is a group show of art instructions in the form of a zine. Freedom Routine compiles art scores by a group of mostly Austin-based artists working from or adjacent to a conceptualist tradition. The texts are recipes for manifesting art in life. Download a pdf.

An Opening Reception was held, Saturday, March 22 6-8 pm. Andrew Humke and Tiffany Smith gave an artist talk on Sunday, April 6, 2025. The Artist Run Club visited Wednesday, April 9, 6:30am, and Andrew spoke.

Andrew Humke — painter originally from Ohio. New to Austin, he is often in Marseille, France, where he is represented by Southway Studio. He contributes an oil on large canvas—a paradox of empty bowls filling each other.

Michelle Marchesseault ­— painter originally from Indiana, working between Austin and New York. She most recently showed her Pompeii paintings at NADA Miami 2023. In the show are three recent paintings: a quartet of queer friends unite on a rural walk, family history as knick knacks on a wavy shelf, and a joyful apotheosis of linked breath and pasta.

L. Renée Núñez — indigenous painter and dancer, working in Lago Vista. This is her first show with Northern-Southern. She paints two landscapes each stretched on the wall. Each sensuously depicts a symbiotic network of life without people.

Emma Rossoff — sculptor and a recent graduate from the UT MFA program with a BA from Columbia. Originally from New York, she is working in Austin. Her most recent shows were at Shed~Shows and the Cage Match at Museum of Human Achievement. Northern-Southern is excited to show a suite of new sculptures: disembodied hands grip and caress each other in surreal and often funny oppositions and conflations.

interdependence is organized by Phillip Niemeyer.
