You'll miss your riding lesson tomorrow. A conceptual performance, gestural painted photographs and works on canvas and linen
In artist Cole Sternberg's ongoing socio-political discussion, Sternberg delves into the idea of consumption as a perceived 'right' of Americans; a 'right' that is perpetuated and celebrated by the media to thus spread like wildfire through the world. Sternberg along with Flaunt Magazine and Primary Projects present a conceptual performance, gestural painted photographs and works on canvas and linen. The title 'you'll miss your riding lesson tomorrow' is stolen from Franz Kafka's Amerika in which Sternberg plays with Kafka's flawed version of the country, the concept of the wealthy as the horse riding community and a partying culture where the next day has no schedule to abide to. The works presented throughout a penthouse address societal issues through the guise of dreams, economics, religion and the media.
