Billboards and Broadsides was a curatorial experiment. I along with Matt Freedman curated the show and fabricated unique structures to support and present the artists original pieces. It was organized around the idea of a sign construed as message, omen, signal or gesture. I built three of the structures that are shown here, specifically tailoring each piece for the artist’s work. All address the present moment’s wild complexity with political and topical work that utilize some degree of graphic communication. The marriage of structure and artwork altered both the original artwork and the overall experience.
