Letter to the Editor; Re: The Bad Review
Large installation piece that consists of three photographic banners- collaged and painted on its surfaces- and one wall/ceiling mural made in graphite and yellow acrylic. The work is my critical review of Allora & Calzadilla and and how the US Pavilion in Venice was curated by corporate lobbyist. The cryptic text and graffiti also refers to the erasures and manipulations enacted in political rhetoric and corporate media. Especially that of the NY art press.
"Letter to the Editor; Re: The Bad Review" was made specifically for "Eraser," an exhibition curated by Rachel Furnari for Magnan Metz Gallery in May 2011.

The hand- painted text of the green banner in the middle reads: Ben's For Hire; Public's Pubes; Unemployed Gringos; Fail Bush; Benneton; Heads of Stato; Plame Assfair Affair.
This flyer is located right in the center of the green banner, barely visible from plain view.
