Perry Hoberman - Trusted Makes
Fringe Exhibitions: 504 Chung King Court
Exhibition Dates: October 14 - November 11, 2006
Opening Reception: Saturday October 14, from 6 - 8 PM
Fringe Exhibitions presents Trusted Makes by Perry Hoberman.
Trusted Makes are large cans (or small drums) of essential (if imaginary) consumer goods. Utilizing a tangible interface, they exist in a state of continual flux. By projecting instead of printing the package design onto the product, the graphic elements of Trusted Makes are able to morph from one state to another, allowing them to continually update and improve their packaging, making and retracting claims and promises. In an age where we'll buy anything with the right packaging, no matter how rancid, dangerous and distasteful, Trusted Makes fabricate the best case possible for whatever's currently in stock.
Fringe Exhibitions is a new exhibition space dedicated to showing cutting edge and experimental art projects that focus on installation, video, new media art, and art that engages with technology.
Gallery Hours: Thursday - Saturday 12 - 6 or by appointment
