The New York gallery INVISIBLE-EXPORTS presents “Welcome To Wyoming”, an exhibition by Alan Vega.
This work, presented in exclusivity, consists in an installation of a single example of his signature light-based sculpture (2014) and a series of semi-automatic, diary-like drawings (2014-2015), which he produced nightly. The drawings, depictions of a single mythical man, also form, together, a shifting, serial self-portrait.
“They all look different but they’re all basically me and facets of my personality. I’ve always drawn old men, even when I was a young kid. I used to go out to the Bowery and draw these old guys. Always done while I’m blitzed. Never touch them straight. I write like that, too. Some things come out of me that would never come out of me straight. Never. The sculptures I would never do any other way but straight. That’s dangerous shit, man.”
Where: Invisible-Exports – 89, Eldridge Street – New York
When: until 29 March, 2015
