New Fangled Destiny
In New Fangled Destiny the goal for artists Mike McFalls, Dawn Nye and Katrazyna Randall is to “explore the idea of beauty as it pertains to the changing contemporary landscape.” The exhibition includes wall-mounted sculpture that reinvents landscape formations and the construction of meaningful space, digital animations, as well as objects of consumption reconfigured to surprising aesthetic results. Taking a good-natured satirical look at American claims to providence, the artists investigate how the aesthetic of consumption has altered our perceptions and expectations. Loft Gallery
