Everybody's Autobiography:
Robert Gober & Kerry James Marshall
Curated by Jessica Baran
March 17th-April 24th, 2011
Opening Reception: Tonight, Thursday, March 17th, 5:30-9pm
In conjunction with the opening reception, curator Jessica Baran and Kelly Lamb Pollock, director of COCA, will deliver remarks about the exhibition beginning at 5:30pm.
Titled after the 1937 book by Gertrude Stein, "Everybody's Autobiography" pairs a suite of new prints by Kerry James Marshall with hand printed wallpaper designed by Robert Gober. The exhibition is an intimate visual essay on the art of the everyday, which, like Stein's poetry, negotiates the strange rhythms of repetition and a peculiar brand of radicality, wherein common language, habits and objects become thoroughly uncommon through ritual's recurrent music.
Drawing on this year's SGCI conference theme of Equilibrium, this exhibition celebrates the extraordinary democracy of repeated patterns and the most seemingly banal motifs of daily living, emphasizing their capacity to equalize even the most stratified, extreme, or marginalized of life narratives.
