Froment fromenté

mise-en-scène, Contemporary Art Gallery, 2014, curated by Shawn Dacey 

Excerpt from Numero Comique

 

An assault on an Hegelian exhibition with neo-modern aspirations, in a neo-modern space with museum aspirations. In response to a modular show, an astonishing pastiche ! Knowledge Synthesis Symposium. Cubes and cubicals. Starter kits. Molecular sets. The language of demonstration? Sure. Sizzurps Workshop. TupperWare demo. Adderall and Ritalin lines, well aligned along the posh grid tables, collapsable, for a show that travels light. IKEA  Art? German violinist playing German folk pieces from Hegel’s era. Solemn Drag Queen Striptease. A charming Down Syndrome delegation wants to hug the gallery director. A mercurial cabaret. A tight critique in loose pants. They should not have invited us.
