(Mark Handforth at Kayne Griffin Corcoran)
The strangeness of this exhibition is reconciling the in-person experience with its now image representation, the discrepant experience of two forms of scale. In reproduction the largess is a concept, it flatters them, making the big dumb things seem more appropriate to function as freakishly oversized signs in a world rendered virtual, the terror of their superfluous birth into the real producing not such a cripplingly appropriate question. In the real world you see they’re made for collectors backyards, the perfect monument to the capital’s exchange, codes for real.
