LifeDeathPornGucci is
John Findysz's second solo show in New York City following his November 2005 debut titled ObsessionCompulsionSexDesign. Findysz’s wall to wall collage explosion continues to investigate our cultural relationship with pornography from the gay male point of view. Using contemporary and vintage images, Findysz specifically curates and stages objects within an environment to create a specific mood or "snapshot" of the bigger picture of how our choices in personal items (home decor, clothing, reading material) come to define us as we really are, or how they can be used to create the "character" of what we would like to be. Previously Findysz has worked exclusively with designer chairs and designer shoes (specifically Gucci) and has shown the objects in a traditional gallery format. For this show, Findysz has expanded his focus to collage an entire environment representing what could be the typical apartment of any urban gay man. Could this actually be his apartment?
