Title: Basic Essentials
Opening Reception: July 14, 7–10 pm
Exhibitions Dates: July 14–August 26, 2018
Location: Royal NoneSuch Gallery, Oakland
Curated by Zoe Taleporos
Basic Essentials is an exhibition about objects–how they are used to construct identity, create a sense of belonging or isolation, or offer or deprive us of agency. The six participating artists, Mark Benson, Brandon Forrest Frederick, Mik Gaspay, Roaming Center for Magnetic Alternatives, Laura Rokas, and William Toney, each experiment with material and form to imbue common objects with larger cultural significance. Working across methods of representation that include still life, trompe l’oeil, home movies, arte povera, and readymade, the artists in Basic Essentials examine how objects, and the various economies they represent, attempt to define who we are and how we are meant to be.
