Jeff Gabel Black Sheep Lecture No. 49


Jeff Gable Show web-invitation

Jeff Gabel, aka Thomas Stolperer, (*1968) is an American artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Gabel's work typically involves small-scale portraits or figures rendered from imagination, accompanied by scrawled captions. Gabel has also exhibited translations of different types of writing, primarily literature, into various formats. His translated adaptation of the novella "Vierundzwanzig Stunden aus dem Leben einer Frau" (Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman) by Stephan Zweig, rendered in pencil in large-scale comic book format, and his audio/visual translation/adaptation of "Gladius Dei" by Thomas Mann have been exhibited and reviewed repeatedly. 
Gabel's translations typically attempt a relatively literal portrayal of the content, while largely ignoring editorial conventions and appropriateness of style and voice.
In addition to the small drawings and translations, Gabel is known for his site-specific drawings and stories on walls, usually in graphite. 
The images themselves tend to be awkward or inept, as Gabel employs no measurements or other preparation work, regardless of size. The stories which accompany the images on the walls or other surfaces typically develop as a drawing progresses, and are often suggested or driven by the physical spaces, and by conditions relating to the respective exhibitions, such as time limit, allotted space, exhibition content, travel logistics & problems, the artist’s recent readings, etc.
He is currently in South Korea on the occasion of his exhibition "More of the Best of Firmin Graf Salawàr dej Striës" at Kim Kim Gallery.

The BLACK SHEEP 강연은 2009년 정헌이 교수와 Dirk Fleischmann에 의해 한성대학교에서 처음 시작되었으며 2년여동안 35회 이상의 강연을 진행했다. 2011년 9월부터 사무소와 Dirk Fleischmann이 기획하고 아트선재센터 내 한옥에서 진행된다.
