Garfinkel, Chris Gentile, Robert Gutierrez, Lucas Knipscher, Jenny Laden, Jon Rappleye, Milton Rosa-Ortiz Jeff Bailey Gallery is pleased to present "Fake Plastic Trees", a group exhibition inspired by the song of the same title by Radiohead. "Fake Plastic Trees" is a plaintive lament about the sameness of so much that surrounds us, cookie-cutter towns, corrupted nature and rampant consumerism. Striving for idealizations of beauty and glamour, the fake and the manufactured became the standard which we inevitably accept. What is real and meaningful is lost in a world of hype, noise and plastic stand-ins. Exhibition: June 3 - July 30, 2004 Gallery Hours: Tue-Sat 11 am - 6 pm Jeff Bailey Gallery 511 West 25th Street, No. 808 USA-New York, NY 10001 Telephone +1 212 989 0156 Fax +1 212 989.0214 Email jeff@baileygallery.com www.baileygallery.com |
