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.

Freedom Routine was organized by Phillip Niemeyer.

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.

Matt Steinke

Matt Steinke‘s second solo show at Northern-Southern, un•verb defies the illusion of still life. Robotic musical objects chant and chat with each other in an aspirational din.

Matt Steinke’s work is—in turns and all-at-once—music, robotics, sculpture, animation, instrument building, puppetry, and computer programing. Steinke gives objects voice and identity. Mechanical sound sculptures mimic the behaviors and personalities of animals, people, plants, and machines. The objects discourse, chant, and interact in group ruminations on consumerism, morality, transcendence, ecology, health, and neurodiversity.
