FRIEZE WEEK — JACK PIERSON BOOK SIGNING

892

 

All my art is postcards sent back from experiences I’ve had. — Jack Pierson*

 

Like a director in [a] theater of disappearances, Pierson often arranges found objects or images to indicate the one thing that persists when the curtain drops or the lights go out. Identity is the performance that outlasts the play…. In Pierson’s work, as in life, the self is a camp collage of gestures, costumes, roles. It can be read, too, like a script that’s constantly changing. — Evan Moffitt*

 

Join Jack Pierson for a book-signing event at Regen Projects. Copies of his new monograph Less and more—featuring essays by Moffitt and Bruce Benderson and a conversation with Andy Campbell—will be available for purchase at the gallery.

Liz Larner will also be on hand to sign copies of Don’t put it back like it was, an exhibition catalog centered around her recent shows at SculptureCenter and Walker Art Center, featuring texts by Connie Butler, Catherine Liu, and Ariana Reines, and an artist interview by Mary Ceruti.

See link below for details.
