Massimo Audiello is pleased to present a show of new work by Anton Vidokle.
The group of works in this exhibition is comprised of digital prints, metal wall reliefs, industrial carpets and cast plastic sculpture based on abstract visual language that punctuates urban environment. In this case the work references private and corporate logotypes, printed matter, architecture and public sculpture produced in Mexico City during the 1970s and early 80s, examining an amalgam of utopian, progressive aspirations and minimalism/modernism as it manifests in design.
The exhibition coincides with a publication of a book on the artist’s work, with an essay by Joshua Decter published by TRANS>publications.
Born in Moscow, Russia, Anton Vidokle lives and works in New York. Vidokle recently participated in exhibitions including: Do It, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist with Pamela Echeverría, Museo Carrillo Gil, Mexico D.F.; Chelsea Rising, Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans, as well as the upcoming Urgent Painting, at the ARC/Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville De Paris.
