Gardar Eide Einarsson - Sorry If I Got It Wrong, But Something Definitely Isn't Right - Team Gallery - NYC


through July 27th 2012

Appropriative acts comprise the majority of Einarsson’s artistic practice. Through re-contextualization, he endows adopted elements of cultural ephemera with a political charge, attempting to transform a battery of neutral art materials into signifiers of dissent. His sources are varied, ranging from book cover graphics, to institutional architectures, to mail-order catalogues, police instruction manuals and everyday objects. Rendered in the artist’s strict black-and-white palette, they all undergo a translation into his particular artistic vocabulary, becoming, in effect, his stolen intellectual properties.
