This event has ended.
WHEN OBAMA KNEW, PETE ROSE WITH HIS BOOKIE, WHEN BILL TOLD HILLARY.
Frank Meo has created an exhilarating collection of indelible mental flash cards that reflects the indomitable strength of mind. By using simplicity of type he allows us the freedom to visualize moments that have been seared in our memory.
Moments that are so terrifying, sad, funny and intriguing that we have an immediate emotional reaction. We’ve become so connected to these events that we feel an ownership to them in an intimate way.
The fact is we’ve never seen any of these events. Never. They only exist in our imagination. So searing are these events that we all see them with an attachment that is mind-boggling. We’re able to discuss for hours these events with a blind passion as if we were participants in the original moments.
The non-stop media analysis of events has nurtured the visual information area of our brains so that all of us are capable of digesting information and creating visual memories of events.
Meo passionately feels that be seeing type from a journalist’s typewriter you can have a visual experience through strength of our mind.
Meo’s fascination with the human condition and the power of the non-stop media has fueled his passion to understand it all. Out of respect to the common man this show says, “shame on you” to Richard Prince’s self-serving and condescending act of commandeering art and calling it his own.
Meo feels “the most visually challenged among us can and does create images, Always”. This show is a testimonial to the strength of imagination, the media and the mind.
