In his first solo exhibition at the gallery, Erik Parra’s confettied newspaper clippings trap vintage advertisements in an impossible temporality: both as a newspaper documentation of the past and a proactive peek into future shapings of collective hopes and dreams. The tangled layers of artificiality eminent in both the medium and the message- between black and white and RGB, history and desire, question the relevance of a search for American authenticity.

Show runs July 30th-September 11th, 2010
