The Mark Moore Fine Art is pleased to annoiunce a special project by Penelope Umbrico “Bad Display (eBay) and TVs from Craigslist” to be featured opening night at the upcoming PHOTO L.A. 2017 Art Fair opening next Thursday, January 12th. More information on this and all the Featured Programs for this event can be found at this link by double clicking here.
Penelope Umbrico offers a radical reinterpretation of everyday consumer and vernacular images. Umbrico works “within the virtual world of consumer marketing and social media, traveling through the relentless flow of seductive images, objects, and information that surrounds us, searching for decisive moments—but in these worlds, decisive moments are cultural absurdities.”
She finds these moments in the pages of consumer product mail-order catalogs, travel and leisure brochures; and websites like Craigslist, EBay, and Flickr. Identifying image typologies—candy-colored horizons and sunsets, books used as props—brings the farcical, surreal nature of consumerism to new light.
