Eric Heist "UStrust"
Schroeder Romero & Shredder
This event has ended.
Schroeder Romero is pleased to present UStrust, Eric Heist's fourth solo show with the gallery. Through his past shows, Heist has developed an increasingly allegorical voice in which the personal collides with the larger institutions that shape our lives. For this show, Heist has created a fictional corporation, a bank named UStrust, as the site where the individual attempts to remain visible within a faceless corporation reflecting its self-interests.
The installation mimics a bank's interior, including various on a teller window, posters crowd control stanchions, cubicle partitions, and video surveillance. In a series of advertising posters, images from the artist's relatively comfortable life -- a supermarket, the workplace, home, car, and bank -- are inter woven with texts from the poverty-stricken in the United States.
