Roxy Paine’s work is a skeptical inquiry into our contemporary spaces of technology, industry and control. In a series of sculptures and large-scale dioramas, Paine triggers psychological shifts through commonplace industries of utility, food, security and public desire – all of which coexist within apparatuses of surveillance. This exhibition is anchored by Checkpoint (2014), a room-sized TSA checkpoint, and includes other recent works realized by Paine’s obsessive processes and material transformations.
Presented in conjunction with the Center of Study of American Democracy’s April 6-8 conference on privacy, surveillance and big data hosted at the Gund Gallery.
The Gund Gallery exhibitions and programs are made possible, in part, by the Gund Gallery Board of Directors and the Ohio Arts Council.
