Artist Conversation "Open House"

Saturday, Feb 17, 2024 1 – 5 pm

Bert Green Fine Art is pleased to present our third solo show by Mac Pierce, and our first show by Mikey Mosher. Both artists are based in Chicago and are recent MFA graduates from the School of the Art Institute. They have conspired to exhibit their solo works under a single concept: The Keys to the Castle. On February 17 is a 1-on-1 conversation with the artists from 1-5 pm.

Mac Pierce critically engages with weaponized emerging technologies via coding, 3D printing, data automation, and cryptography. Pierce examines issues surrounding government power and its nemesis, the exposure of classified information. Pierce presents this capture and storage of strategically important information as a metaphor for a contemporary redefinition of sacred icons and objects.

Mikey Mosher arranges extremely ordinary, everyday objects which quietly reference religious imagery. These items expose a spiritual truth hiding behind day-to-day life, revealing their origins in religiosity in ordinary American culture. Mosher’s object assemblages are created as sculptural tableaux which are then digitally rendered as lenticulars, presented in custom, digitally fabricated frames.

All gallery events are free and open to the public. Additional information found at the gallery website at https://bgfa.us. Please forward to any interested parties.
