The Chung King Project features a half beaten up pinata hanging above what seems to be the reamains of a birds feathers, a few photographs of actual soilders and sailors dressing up as women in different sanarios, Damien Deroubaix's painting entitled, Lord of All fever and Plague, and two oil painting entitled " Mannerphantasien" . The shows title is derived from a two volume book published in Germany during the late 1900's. The book surrounds the idea of facism and misogyny in the German Freikorps after WW1. The impression that I got as a viewer was that it symbolized some type of historic movement or passage within not only art as a style, but historic movements possibly within the last 900 years. The photographs that Martin Dammanns had in the exhibition where very interesting simply because they are actual pictures of men who were in war. -Danisa
We are a group of Art students from the University of California Riverside who are attending a series of Art Galleries in several parts of Southern California. We have decided to use Blogger.com to post the pictures we take, and record our thoughts and opinions about the work we visit. You can find our critiques and thoughts on the work in the "comments" field, which appears below the pictures of the art.
