As usual, Mark Flood has put out another bizarre teaser video for his show, entitled 'Astro Turf Yelp Review,' which opens May 1st at Peres Projects in Berlin. This is the gallery’s sixth solo show with the Houston-based, American artist. In addition to new works from the text and logo series, this exhibition is centered around a new series Aged Paintings, which are exhibited in Berlin for the first time.
The first solo museum exhibition of Houston-based artist Mark Flood, Another Painting features key examples of the artist’s recent text, lace, and corporate logo paintings. With a deadpan and confrontational tone, Flood’s work interrogates the verbal, visual, and written language of institutions—such as government, Wall Street, and the art market—that influence everyday life. Appropriating the vernacular of these establishments, Flood seeks to reveal what he believes to be their inherent absurdity and desire to control. Another Painting will be on view until January 3, 2015 at the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis, 3750 Washington Blvd St. Louis, MO
