B.B.S.Q.
Wallspace Gallery, New York
A group exhibition that brings together the work of Math Bass, Lucas Blalock, Michael Queenland and Andreas Slominski. The title and spirit of the exhibition play on (and nod to) Duchamp's L.H.O.O.Q., engaging with notions of the readymade, the body and the often surreal and absurd spaces in between.
Wallspace is pleased to present B.B.S.Q., a group exhibition that brings together
the work of Math Bass, Lucas Blalock, Michael Queenland and Andreas Slominski. The
title and spirit of the exhibition play on (and nod to)
Duchamp’s L.H.O.O.Q., engaging with notions of the readymade, the body and the
often surreal and absurd spaces in between. Furthermore, all of these works evince
a studied exploration of the thresholds of their mediums, pushing against the
edges as both a strategy of discovery and a locus of meaning.

Amherst, MA and an MFA from UCLA, Los Angles, CA. Recent exhibitions
include P&Co., Thomas Duncan Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2013); This Is It With It As It Is, Lora
