Just
buy a
"ticket” to the 16th Annual Phantom
Ball. That's all. There's no
need to come. We'll still send you the "party favor" anyways — a
signed, limited edition print by a well-known contemporary
artist.
Buy your “ticket” right
now (sight un-seen) for only $150. The price doubles on
June 1st.
We understand that you
can't make it. Nobody ever has, nobody ever does. Not in 16
years. Get it?
And on that note, this year’s “party favor” is
a print by...
(
edition of 100 )
 Working
in a range of media, Los Angeles based artist Walead
Beshty has consistently explored the boundaries between politics
and aesthetics, between consumption and critique. More recently,
he has used photography and its chemical process as a vehicle
to explore the tension between the material and the optical
in the photographic print.
In a recent solo exhibition at China Art Objects in
Los Angeles, Beshty worked in the darkroom exposing light from
a color enlarger onto folded pieces of photographic paper creating
prints that evoke lush geometric planes and jewel tones that
delve into the formal aspects of abstraction. For the 2008
Whitney Biennial, film exposed through an airport x-ray machine
provided the soft, muted color shifts in his mural sized
photographs of an abandoned Iraqi embassy in the former East
Berlin.
Born in London in 1976, Walead Beshty received his MFA in
2002 from Yale University and his BA from Bard College in
1999. He has exhibited at MoMA Contemporary Art Center @
P.S. 1, White Columns in New York, and the DeCordova Museum
in Massachusetts. Beshty was included in the 2008 Whitney
Biennial as well as the 2008 California Biennial. He has
an upcoming solo exhibition at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington
D.C.
