with you, 2024

Artspace is pleased to announce a new limited edition artwork by New York-based artist Jim Hodges: with you, 2024.

American artist Jim Hodges is known internationally for his singular ability to infuse emotion and narrative into the objects of our daily lives, centering experience as the primary objective of his work. Many of Hodges’ sculptures are forged from humble or found materials that are transformed through his touch, conjuring both memory and imagination.

with you presents multiple possibilities with two vessels—one of basalt stone, and one of cast glass—which can be suspended together in a handmade wooden pedestal or separately as a wall-mounted relief. In itself an inclusive gesture, with you depends upon the participation of its owner: the artwork is complete when flowers are placed inside the objects. Each time the flowers are replaced, with you is reactivated and resolved once again. 

“The artwork is an invitation and an opportunity for connection. It was conceived as a meditation and a celebration to honor the spectrum of beauty we share and the possibilities relationships invite—with gratitude for all who’ve joined forces to generously impact lives in the most positive ways we can imagine.” — Jim Hodges

with you is presented in partnership with the 2024 TWO x TWO for AIDS Art Gala and Auction. Proceeds from the sale of the limited edition benefit the Dallas Museum of Art and amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. Jim Hodges was the 2008 TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art Honoree. 

Jim Hodges’ art has merged the practices of drawing and sculpture since the 1980s. From such large scale installations as his permanent glass sculptures at New York City’s Grand Central Terminal (2020) to such intimate works as the doodled napkins comprising Diary of Flowers (1994), a through-line in Hodges’ practice is his persistent and patient study of temporality, life, and love. His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at institutions including the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Camden Art Centre, London; the Aspen Art Museum; CGAC, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Most recently a major traveling retrospective of Hodges’s work was exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Dallas Museum of Art; and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Hodges has received multiple awards and grants including the Association International des Critiques d’art, the Albert Ucross Prize, Washington State Arts Commission, and the Penny McCall Foundation Grant.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.
