Ethan Greenbaum Exhibition
Kansas
This event has ended.
KANSAS presents a solo exhibition of Ethan Greenbaum.
Ubiquitous prospective avenues-
reciprocity as a given circumstance,
but exploited within the framework.
Unflinching expanses cropped-
a calculated schema, rendered
(elusively) to a point, as a point.
A prop, a position, a proposition…
residual simulacrum, complimentary…
gaited, escalated, and annotated.
Stare from an elevated view-
prosaic, cyclical plans abound;
such a lush life-drunken trees,
sobbing in libraries. Dioramic drama,
according to now. Past lives passed.
Documents doctored, memories
in vitrines. A GIF, revised. A gift.
Horizontal becomes vertical;
vertical becomes pantomime.
“I never thought of this as theater…”

Notes to self get lost in the city.
