Sean Raspet: As If Written In
Curated by Matthew Lyons
This solo exhibition presents a new body of work by Sean Raspet that continues his exploration of paradox and parody in relationship to late-capitalist image culture. Raspet's multi-layered, hanging banner pieces use the repetition and rearrangement of images of banal spaces of work and production, leisure and consumption to form an elaborate build-up of signifiers around an arbitrary and ultimately tenuous core. In addition to a new, large-scale banner piece, the exhibition will also include new works in wall-based sculptural works. With a sly, conceptual edge, Raspet's pieces create a zone in which meaning and signification is short circuited, reflecting our experience of the present moment of non-stop, twenty-four hour cycles of information, images, and media.
