Slow Opening
Jay Stern


NOON Projects is honored to present Slow Opening by Jay Stern, the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. This new body of work unveils a series of expressive, layered oil paintings that explore the intricate relationship between memory, time, and transformation. Slow Opening invites viewers into a space that feels both familiar and distant, capturing ephemeral moments of transition and quiet introspection. Much like memory, Stern assembles his compositions from fragmented elements into expansive forms, employing directional light to subtly evoke the emotion arising from the fleeting nature of information over time. The exhibition title reflects Stern’s fascination with the hidden layers of activity within what is considered 'still,' and the slow, unfolding blooms that emerge from looking.

Extended through February 8, 2025

Sayantan Mukhopadhyay Interviews Jay Stern


Curator Sayantan Mukhopadhyay speaks with artist Jay Stern about Slow Opening, Stern’s exhibition currently on view at NOON Projects through February 8, 2025. Their conversation explores themes of eroticism, desire, and queerness—often evoked in the absence of the body—while also tracing artistic influences from Stern’s adopted home of Maine, including Marsden Hartley and Lois Dodd. Stern reflects on the intimate residue of objects, the shifting role of landscape in his work, and the idea of queerness as a process rather than a fixed state. Together, they consider the power of ambiguity, memory, and the act of revisiting an image, a place, or a moment.
