Denim Solutions/Ambien Sex brings together a number of artists whose work is unified by its reference to and use of a diverse, figural spectrum of characters whose materials and influences are often worldly, banal and/or popular. These forms articulate themselves with highly personal inflection and humor, exhibiting cartoonish, exaggerated and absurdist relationships to things, creating an amalgamated and grand psycho-scape. Amidst this scene, a gesture is conjured towards an allegorical structure that is invested and emoting, altogether positing an implicated subjectivity within a haze of the proposed, the real and the impossible. Seeking solutions in a rosy fog, limbs are loosed, the system contains a fetish. The tragicomic roams and speaks into this world of deformed and uncannily familiar relations and landscapes.

This event is organized by Lesley Moon with special thanks to Mickey Petralia and Jenny Park for their generous support of this exhibition.
