Good Citizen Gallery: Friday, 7 October 2011

Good Citizen invites you to Commonwealth, a solo exhibition by Derek Larson
Video installation and billboard project by Derek Larson
October 7 - November 5
Opening Reception Friday, October 7, 6-10 PM

Commonwealth will be an immersive installation in which Derek Larson creates a dilapidated sculpture garden incorporating projected video statuary. The work will rely heavily upon the viewer's previous experiences with classical statuary in large institutions. Larson will present a virtual likeness to a grand garden, questioning its function and validity as a common space for public interaction. Commonwealth is a response to Federica Bueti's article Give Me The Time in which she states "satisfaction of temporary desire falsifies experience". With the installation, Larson will point to the divisions in experience between private property and commonality by referencing the curatorial grandiosity of the Getty Center as a reminder of where we are not.
