James Georgopoulos 'There Is No End' @ MAMA in Los Angeles

MAMA Gallery presents an exhibition of new work by American artist James Georgopoulos. The exhibition explores familiar themes and tropes of sexuality, consumerism, and money worship – thoughtfully disguised in popular culture as the American dream. Following in the same lineage of artists such as John Chamberlain or even Marcel Duchamp, by using objects – old car parts, disused slot machines and other jettisoned materials – Georgopoulos investigates the self-cannibalizing culture of consumerism. There Is No End will be on view February 28 through April 4, 2015. The opening reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 6:00PM - 9:00PM
