Jeff Bechtel Opening
Our good friend, the very talented Jeff Bechtel has an opening at Brooklyn Fire Proof tonight. (Yes, he's also the guy who illustrated The Hipster Handbook and Food Court Druids.) Stop by if you can.
JEFF BECHTEL : DEADALIVE October 14 – November 13th, 2005 Opening reception: Friday, October 14, 7 - 10 pm Followed by a performance by COBRETTI at 10 pmThe Monstrum is etymologically "that which reveals,"
"that which warns."Brooklyn Fire Proof is pleased to present DEADALIVE, Jeff Bechtel’s first solo exhibition in which he has adopted the role of Dr. Frankenstein. Understanding culture as a multitude of fragments, Jeff Bechtel has presented some of these fragments in collections of an unassimilated hybrid, a monster. The monstrous body is a cultural construct and projection: something to be read. It signifies something other than itself, gives reason to the unexplained, signals warning, and reflects our inner fears and desires. Always it comes with a strain of dark comedy. John Ruskin said: “The grotesque is, in almost all cases, composed of two elements, one ludicrous, the other fearful.”
In DEADALIVE, Bechtel introduces zombie glyphs in portrait-like settings of the glamorous affluent. The familiarity and pictorial seduction of this platform provides a pleasing confrontation with the grotesque, creating a perplexing situation of attraction and revulsion. The reaction and its meaning is imparted on the viewer.
