Laying Doggo
Brooklyn Fire Proof, New York
The artwork collected in Laying Doggo gnaws on images fetched in the backyard of contemporary visual culture: video games, horror films, fashion photography, punk, children's books, art, and pornography. The results stake out an artistic territory that is provocative, perverse, and even (gulp!) poetic, like digging up the bones of the popular psyche and re-burying them in a whole other context. Young dogs=new tricks?
Brooklyn Fire Proof, Inc. presents Laying Doggo curated by Ann Toebbe with work by seven emerging artists. The artwork collected in Laying Doggo gnaws on images fetched in the backyard of contemporary visual culture: video games, horror films, fashion photography, punk, children's books, art, and pornography. The results stake out an artistic territory that is provocative, perverse, and even (gulp!) poetic, like digging up the bones of the popular psyche and re-burying them in a whole other context. Young dogs=new tricks?
