Ida Applebroog Ida Applebroog: You what?

Brooklyn Rail Apr 01, 2025

The opening salvo at You what?, Ida Applebroog’s current show at the Ronald Feldman Gallery, is two versions of Shake from 1980. One is made from ink and rhoplex on vellum, while the other, Shake (shadow), ink on vellum, looks like the negative, a fadeout of the first. It shows two formally dressed couples, the men shaking hands in greeting, the women behind them politely looking on, merely supporting actors. Presented as theatre, the scene is staged and framed by a curtain, a commentary on the coded conventions of socialized interactions and how they might be parsed. The deft entwining of the political and the personal—for Applebroog, they are inseparable—is her calling card. Her narratives can be disturbing, even weird, delivered cryptically with disingenuous understatement. The intent is to challenge, posing questions for viewers to react to and ponder, her deeply subversive messages more biting for their indirection.
