The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to announce our third exhibition, WALL ROCKETS: Contemporary Artists and Ed Ruscha, curated by Lisa Dennison. The title of the exhibition refers to a painting completed in 2000 by Ed Ruscha, arguably one of the most innovative artists over the past four decades. WALL ROCKETS: Contemporary Artists and Ed Ruscha will include works by a large number of international artists whose artworks, whether directly or indirectly, have been influenced or inspired by Ruscha’s iconic style.

Ruscha’s oeuvre consists of painting, drawing (made in both conventional materials and others including gunpowder, blood, and chocolate), printmaking, photography, and artist’s books. One of the first American artists to consider the role of consumerism in art and culture, Ruscha references the American landscape—particularly that of Southern California—as a reflection on the urban experience, and explores the complexities of language as a form of visual imagery. Through photography, painting, and sculpture, WALL ROCKETS: Contemporary Artists and Ed Ruscha will illuminate the effect of Ruscha’s legacy on both his peers as well as a younger generation of contemporary artists.
