All we ever wanted was everything

Efa Project Space, New York

Fia Backstrom, Shannon Ebner, Patricia Esquivias, Spencer Finch, Joachim Koester, Alice Konitz, Gonzalo Lebrija, Mathias Poledna, and Danh Vo. Efa commissions nine artists to question the importance of the single image. For this exhibition, a selection of diverse artists will design a single black and white image to be produced as a run of one thousand posters, free for the taking. The resulting nine stacks without context or explanation remain waiting as sculpture, installation, publicity. These images articulate episodic moments in history, abstraction and storytelling, developing their own narratives as defined by their use. They represent an acknowledgment of the poster's history from political tool to contemporary strategy. Curated by galeria perdida; literary contribution by Michael Ned Holte.
