Thank you to @artsgowanus for the shout out for my studio #3057 at TI Art Studios at 183 Lorraine St that will be part of the upcoming #gowanusopenstudios2021 Mark your calendars for Oct 16-17, 12-6pm to see my new work (and me!) in person! Posted @withregram • @artsgowanus Showing at GOS 2021: Karen Mainenti! @kmainenti "My work is a re-engagement of appropriated text and images from consumer products, advertising and media. By reframing these messages—often with humor—I reveal the absurdity and unnatural expectations that society has come to accept as commonplace. My new collection of collages, “The World Without Us,” reconsiders ordinary objects as relics of humanity’s time on Earth. I envision the planet after our extinction, with animals appearing to contemplate inscrutable consumer products left behind by the human race. A reflection upon a year upended by the pandemic, where nature has shown that it is simply and unmistakably in control, I consider the passion with which we undertake our consumerist behavior as we essentially destroy the planet." See Karen's work at 183 Lorraine St., 3rd Floor, Studio 3057 during GOS, October 16-17! #artsgowanus #GOS2021 #gowanusopenstudios #gowanusopenstudios2021 #brooklyn #brooklynart #keepgowanuscreative #gowanus #collage #enviromentart #conceptualart #brooklynart (at TI Art Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdlAAWFhJn/?utm_medium=tumblr
