Biennale
Jack Pierson at the 2022 High Desert Test Sites Biennial
2022年4月9日—5月22日
Mojave Desert, CA, USA
Guest curated by Iwona Blazwick OBE, director of Whitechapel Gallery
At High Desert Test Sites 2022, titled The Searchers, nine artists offer a narrative on the geometry of ruin, the entropic play of nature, and the ghosts of cultures both ancient and modern, human and non-human.
Jack Pierson rescues the signs - neon, wooden, tin - that beckon to visitors from abandoned motels or derelict saloon bars. His site-specific work, The End of the World, is a linguistic monument of a different kind: a giant wooden gesture for Wonder Valley, a place known for those who drop off the edge of civilization.
