comunicato stampa

Eric Wesley's first New York solo exhibition will open at Metro Pictures on December 14th and run through February 1st.

For the exhibition, Wesley will produce, package, and distribute his own brand of black market cigarettes "New Amsterdam", created from tobacco plants that he has cultivated in various locations. On view will be a compact operational system of cigarette-producing components, comprised of a germination unit, growing tables, and drying boxes for tobacco plants. A separated gallery area will be devoted to the rolling and packaging of the cigarettes, as well as to the promotional ephemera. The system is designed to be broken down, and its elements stored and transported within the back of a U-haul trailer.

Eric Wesley was born in 1973 in Los Angeles, where he currently lives and works. He received a BA from the University of California, Los Angeles. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including "Snapshot: New Art From Los Angeles," at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, "Freestyle," at the Studio Museum in Harlem, in New York and the Santa Monica Museum of Art, in Santa Monica, California, and "Purloined" at Artists Space in New York. His recent exhibitions at Galleria Franco Noero in Torino, Italy and Meyer-Reigger Galerie in Karlsrue, Germany involved comparably complete productions processes- one a bomb factory cum paint store, the other a burrito factory.
