Moroso Projects : Waiting Room. Curated by Nate Hooper and Greg Ito.
Artists: Facundo Argañaraz, Bailey Hikawa, Joey Piziali, Sean Talley.
Comment by AB: I don't have a clue what the show statement is about. Yet another impenetrable accounting written exclusively for the anointed (and they wonder why more people don't buy more art). I suppose the rest of us can go screw ourselves. Here's a snippet - "The exhibition encourages the works to coexist with one another, evoking unexpected tensions and visual narratives." Make of that what you will. Fortunately, the art more than makes up for the lamentable expository-- accomplished, purposeful, precise and unconventionally displayed. Worth a visit.
