Coast / Coast by Michael Mandiberg
Once upon a time Phaedrus warned us that Things are not always as they seem, yet seldom do we challenge ourselves to see beyond the perceptible or reimagine daily objects. Luckily we have artists living among us that can twist our insight and help show us the extraordinary lying in the ordinary. This week Eric Baker from Design Observer culled together images of artists who do just that. The artists he's selected all look at the book as an object to be reconsidred.
Three Jen Bekman Gallery artists have made the grade this time around: Mickey Smith, Nina Katchadourian and Michael Mandiberg. Unsurprisingly these very artists are included in our summer group show, Summer Reading, on view now through August 22nd.
