temporary contemporary announces its second exhibition:
Seth Crawford and Harvey Opgenorth
Opening: Friday, July 6th, 6–9 pm
Seth Crawford and Harvey Opgenorth appropriate commercially produced objects and commonly available materials to create visual puns and unexpected situations challenging our habitual notions and convictions. Crawford’s work investigates shaping identities and often complex and contradictory relationships between actual pleasure and aesthetic taste in the culture of accumulation, over-abundance of consumer goods, mass entertainment and gigantic income disparities. Opgenorth seeks to refine the viewers’ perceptions and awareness, particularly that related to their own social behaviors and roles. His new Museum Reminders - a Post-it Note Seriesques questions the routine that a galley or a museum visit has become and the attitude we take on as viewers. Both Crawford’s and Opgenort’s works are capable of triggering a variety of responses: from amusement and surprise, through irritation and confusion to final revelation. In any case, they never fail to address the most acute issues the contemporary culture faces today.
