To Do: Negativland Art Opening
Gigantic ArtSpace is proud to present Negativlandland, an exhibition by the “culture jamming” group Negativland.
September 9 – October 22, 2005
OPENING RECEPTION on Friday, September 9, 6-9PM
59 Franklin Street, New York City
From Press Release:
In Negativlandland, you’ll see a life size robot of Abraham Lincoln doing his best to educate you, you’ll peer into wrecked cars, get your fingers in the dirt, discover the secrets of Howland Island, learn how to make your own noises on the Booper, view many brand new video works, hiccup with rabbits, and much, much more. Also on view will be an unauthorized special edition of a U2 vs. Negativland iPod (version 2G), created by Francis Hwang.
In this noisy exhibition, Negativland suggests a theme park catapulting us into deconstructed attractions of the gallery as a multi-media entertainment destination. Negativland’s work poses questions about the nature of perception, media control, ownership, and propaganda. The exhibition will take place in conjunction with the group’s 25th anniversary and will feature the collective’s recent visual work as well as their trademark sonic work.
