"Crooked Smiles, Steady Voices and a Trunk Full of Cash" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Cinders Gallery
Media: Painting, Drawing, Installation
Set in a fantastical used car lot that gives "used" a whole new meaning, this installation explores American car culture, suburban sprawl, rising gas prices, consumerism, and the role of the salesperson in our society. A wooden and paper mache car is in the lot for sale "as is", flags and undies hang over head while car dealership ads blast from the TV. Portraits of proud Americans standing by their cars and photos of this country's vast landscape mix with drawings of cowboys and paintings of cars whose owners have found new uses for them such as planters and homes.

I love the paper mache coffee pot and cups at the entrance.
Also Dustin Aksland's "Shopping Center" which features Sisyphus as a Target employee.
