My show will synthesize my artistic influences for the viewer in ways writing about it can not accomplish. Felix Gonzalez-Torres is an artist who uses space and the gallery setting in a way I admire. Along with Duchamp's traveling Art-show-in-a-book trick, I produced a take-a-way booklet, which reflects my influences, so the attending audience can carry a piece of art off with themselves to look at later. For me, Walter Benjamin's essay about Art in the age of mechanical reproduction provided aspiration and a new set of ideas to apply to my definition of Art. I feel that the experience of being at this show, for myself and for my show partner Kirk Palmer, will be a performance piece in itself.
