"In a world where authenticity is an autograph and reality a genre of TV, our images provide society a mirror to reflect upon its ideals and devotions. With this exhibition we seek to encourage viewers to question what makes these individuals so beloved. What do they represent for each of us, what roles have we assigned them to play, that they inspire such passions in us? Why do we as a society raise them up to be larger than life, blur the lines between fantasy and reality, admiration and obsessive cult behavior, appoint them as deities for public consumption, then rip them apart if they reveal human frailties? As they shine so brightly, we hope that ICONS will inspire its viewers to also reflect upon the long shadows cast."
The world premiere of Markus Klinko & Indrani's first solo show ICON will be held April 21st 7-10pm at the Pacific Design Center. Limited tickets are available, call 310-601-4385.
