Justin Lieberman "The Corrector in the High Castle"
Zach Feuer Gallery
This event has ended.
Zach Feuer Gallery presents The Corrector in the High Castle, an exhibition of new work by Justin Lieberman, which is presented in conjunction with Lieberman's The Corrector's Custom Pre-Fab House at Marc Jancou Contemporary.
The Corrector in The High Castle is a sculptural tableau vivant inspired by Nobusuke Tagomi, the protagonist of Philip K. Dick's prophetic novel, The Man in The High Castle. The book posits a fictional future fifty years after Germany and Japan defeat the Allied forces in World War II. The gallery installation depicts the domestic interior of an apartment inhabited by Tagomi, a Japanese collector of American (and occasionally European) pop cultural artifacts, who is afflicted with a severe case of neotoma. His illicit collections of comic books, newspapers, VHS cassettes, records, Beanie Babies, lunchboxes, baseball cards, toys and other ephemera are piled everywhere, and like the Corrector himself, seem frozen in amber. Nearly everything in the installation is covered in a thick coating of clear acrylic resin, which drips off the collections in thick clear stalactites.
