poster for Jon Kessler "New Works"

This event has ended.

This exhibition of new work created during Kessler’s Lab Grant residency at Dieu Donné, represents a major shift towards two-dimensionality for an artist whose practice normally consists of kinetic sculptures that incorporate video elements. Kessler’s new work on paper redefines the contemporary portrait by capturing, deconstructing and reconfiguring images and information. Through these works, Kessler continues his prevailing engagement and response to politics, war, advertising, reality television, celebrity culture and pornography by incorporating text, images and found objects.
