Robert Beck in Stephen Friedman Gallery
Jun 13 2006
This weekend in Stephen Friedman Gallery started an exhibition of new art works by American artist Robert Beck. Robert Beck was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1959. Nowadays he lives and works in New York City. In 1983 he graduated BA, Undergraduate Film and Television, New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, NY and in 1993 - The Independent Study Program of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Studio Program, NY. In this new exhibition Beck presents a wide range of media including offset printing blankets, a plaster-cast brick-and-mortar wall sculpture. Bars and Stars exposition presents a variety of grey printing blankets which drape along the gallery walls and floors are screen-printed repeatedly with images from a tabloid newspaper and are studded with anodized aluminium stars. The themes are more than timely – some images amplify staged photographs of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, reminding of the sad story of Abu Grhaib. The exhibition will last till 22 July 2006.
