Stephen G. Rhodes Exhibition
Metro Pictures
This event has ended.
For his debut exhibition at Metro Pictures, Stephen G. Rhodes fills the gallery with labyrinthine installations composed of collage, sculpture, painting, and film — constructions that revolve around the 18th-century Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant and the master-servant dialectic he shared with his steadfast servant Lampe.
Rhodes's fictive Kant sports lederhosen and a blonde wig in a fragmented film that is chopped apart and projected onto the walls of one room. A hypochondriac, haunted by creative impotence and a fear of bowel problems, Kant labors at his typewriter, takes restorative walks, and guzzles coffee and tea. A hybrid of a writer, a philosopher, and a scientist, he pulls the string of a tea bag to initiate violent chain reactions. Walls collapse and bombs explode, as rational causality breaks down.
