Brock Enright continues to provoke uncertainty with IFALLNOWHERE. Constructed out of recognizable symbols of American culture, Enright’s sculptures immerse the viewer in a phantasmological world where a sense of terror is always present. In this show, he explores connections between the familiar and the extreme with a mixture of new work including sculpture, drawings and mixed media. A tower constructed of wooden Nike symbols leans over the entire installation, creating psychedelic corporate violence.
In [sic] John Lehr’s photographs suggest a world in flux, alive yet rendered with stillness and precision. His images of found signage and language in the American landscape are made using traditional photographic techniques but often seem manipulated or unbelievable. In the photograph entitled [sic], a roadside sign melts and its letters are jumbled into a new arrangement that is illegible. [sic] suggests the limitations of language and the crippled role of advertising in the current economy.
