David John Attyah - Replace Cartridge Soon

March 28 - April 6

Opening Reception Saturday March 29  6-9pm

Replace Cartridge Soon is an exhibition of experimental works on paper by David John Attyah. Outfitted with an old-school Xerox copier, a roll of black masking tape, and a glue stick, Attyah integrates hand-drawn elements into snippets of found, cut, and re-xeroxed photos.  The exhibition is fueled by Attyah’s longing for a former time - a period that mashed up sexual awakening and political turmoil, located somewhere in the 1990s.

The artworks are made of scratchy drawn elements, emo-lite motifs, taped zine styling, and cut up photos.  There are appearances of disco balls, tarot cards, beating hearts, and faded TV stars - symbols which Attyah can’t logically explain.  Attyah can’t logically explain anything that happened back then - or anything that is happening now - anyway.

Replace Cartridge Soon opens on Saturday, March 29th at 7:00 pm at Keystone Art Space.  The exhibition runs through Sunday, April 6th.
