524 W 26th St Hirsch Perlman OPERATION IDIOCRACY, ROLL 3, FRAMES 3/4 (2007) |
The current exhibition presents photographs, silkscreens and installation. The photographs are selected from the following bodies of work; Sketches, Apparatum Armorum Ineptum, My Reproof, Operation Idiocracy, and ergo despero. These works, part sculpture and part performance, are recorded in their final form in long exposure black and white photographs. (In one notable exception color has been added). The silkscreen series Schrödinger Cats is named after the Austrian physicist’s thought experiment which uses a cat to illustrate the paradoxical nature of quantum mechanics. An installation presents an independently published, unlimited run of the U.S. Army’s Counterinsurgency Manual. The manuals are offered for sale with the proceeds benefiting both National Popular Vote (working to dismantle the Electoral College) and The Center for Constitutional Rights, an organization fighting for the rights of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners to contest their detentions.
Hirsch Perlman was born in 1960 and is a graduate of Yale University. He is Associate Professor and Area Head of the Sculpture department at UCLA. Perlman has exhibited at museums including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Drammens Museum, Drammens, Norway; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; and P.S.1, New York, NY.
