Public Consumption

by Greta June 27th, 2010

JUNE 26 – JULY 10

Work by Rogue Citizen:
Shawn Dalsen
Eric Mattheis
Matt McGorry
Matt Wells

Public Consumption, an ongoing project of Rogue Citizen artist collective, is shown here for the first time publicly.

The body of work is diverse, with ranging mediums, styles, and themes that highlight the collective nature of the artist group.  Undertones of urban and political commentary tie the pieces together.  Public Consumption challenges the way art is presented and valued in an extreme way.

Public Consumption prompts average citizens to become art patrons; on July 10th, the work will be dispersed to gallery visitors.  From there the pieces are displayed publicly; viewers are encouraged to record their discovery of these works and their subsequent status, including vandalism, dismantlement, home exhibition, framing, weather damage, vehicular destruction, etc.
