Meliksetian | Briggs is pleased to present By Any Possibility, Cody Trepte’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. In this exhibition, Cody Trepte explores the contradiction between the experience of chance and a belief of time as completely determined.

Cody Trepte (b. 1983, Texas) received his Bachelor of Fine Arts at New York University and his Master of Arts at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in 2010. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including 2012 edition of Made in LA at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Austin Museum of Art, Texas; Weatherspoon Art Museum, North Carolina, and Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina, Florence.

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 21st 6-8pm
Anna Meliksetian and Michael Briggs are pleased to present *Remainder*, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles based artist Cody Trepte.

In 1953, amateur magician Paul Curry invented a puzzle in which a triangle divided into six segments can be rearranged into a new triangle occupying the same space. The pieces of the original form are cleanly redistributed to produce the new triangle, except that there is the strange result that there are now two extra spaces — two “somethings” from where once there was nothing.

Taking this puzzle as the starting point for the exhibition, Trepte highlights what’s left over as a site of paradox. *Remainder* consists of photographs, drawings, and a 16mm film. The two large photo-based images, considered drawings by the artist, are made by photographing works on paper of dots, numbers, and arrows. These images simultaneously reference the cellular and the cosmic, maps, movement, and instruction.

The text-based works were hand drawn using bleach over stacks of paper. The bleach soaked through the pages, producing an increasingly muted effect with each layer. The resulting image is one of generation loss — another mark of the remainder. Smaller drawings are configured into quadrants to create a single image. Like the grid in Curry’s puzzle, these arrangements are unfixed and can be reshuffled to generate new images and new fragments of language.

A large image of a man in a library hangs in the center of the gallery. The figure’s back is turned to the camera as he pulls a book down from shelves of anonymous volumes. Language becomes the record of the remainder as what’s left over is imprinted on the page. The works in the exhibition function like the act of translation. Through transcription, reshuffling, repetition and reproduction, words and images gain and shed meaning as they change from form to form.

*Cody Trepte (b. 1983, Austin TX) has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including 2012 edition of* Made in LA at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Austin Museum of Art, Texas; Weatherspoon Art Museum, North Carolina, Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina, Florence, Kunstverein INGAN e.V., Berlin, Thierry Goldberg, New York, and Eleven Rivington, New York. He received his B.F.A. at New York University and his M.F.A. at the California Institute of the Arts in 2010. This is Trepte’s second exhibition with the gallery.

Anna Meliksetian and Michael Briggs are pleased to present *From Both Moments As Another*, Cody Trepte’s first exhibition with the gallery.

On its surface, time seems a simple notion, the passing days measured in seconds, minutes and hours, but these man-made constructs are merely approximations of the earth’s rotation around the sun. Through the exhibition, Trepte proposes another idea instead; that time be measured as change — one moment morphing from present to past, replaced by another from the future transformed into the now. Moments, marked by difference, become the most basic unit of time.

*From Both Moments As Another* consists of photographs, drawings and prints. The photographic images in the exhibition, created from found photos of anonymous ruins, have been manipulated and rotated using a computer program written by the artist. Fusing these mechanical processes with the hand-made, the photographic prints are layered with ink drained from thousands of ballpoint pens over the course of several months. The bronze colored ink creates a mirror-like surface that reflects an imperfect image of the viewer and the surrounding works.

Also included in the exhibition are text-based drawings that are made with bleach. The drawings will slowly change over the course of many years as the bleach alters the surface of the paper. As a result, each drawing is imbued with its own crude measure of time. The phrases of the drawings, depicted in overlapping italic and regular typefaces, point to subtle slippages in our experience of time.

The installation will change several times over the course of the exhibition, creating informal chapters. With each turn, selected works will be replaced by printed facsimiles that document their previous iteration, which then provide a backdrop for the new installation. This layered effect gives form to a temporal collapse of the exhibition itself: a work’s past coexisting with its present and prefiguring its future.

Cody Trepte was born in Austin, Texas and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including: Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Austin Museum of Art, Texas; Weatherspoon Art Museum, North Carolina; Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina, Florence; Kunstverein INGAN e.V., Berlin; Thierry Goldberg, New York; Eleven Rivington, New York; and Pepin Moore, Los Angeles. He received a B.F.A. from New York University in 2005 and an M.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts in 2010.
