HEAVIER THAN A DEATH IN THE FAMILY


Martin Basher is represented in HEAVIER THAN A DEATH IN THE FAMILY curated by Per Billgren and Shanan Smith. Set in the project room of newly opened art collective 25CPW (NY), HTADITHF is described as "...a contemporary art show that questions whether some of the economic conditions of the 60s that inspired the birth of psychedelia aren't analogous to our own current climate, and proposes that inner exploration might be just the prescription to bring us out of an over-saturated media haze. Using a variety of media, the artists in this group show are all working to decode, process, or in some cases reject the incessant information we are being bombarded with in this hyperreal 21st century. This show is about looking through the grid and celebrating the resistance".
