Everything's Going South
featuring works by:
Nathan Lynch
Nathan Lynch creates objects that speak to the psychological and social
constructions that we engage to assert our power, showing the thinly veiled
dark side of these traditions, exposing their hypocrisy, humor and
desperation.
"Everything's Going South" includes two related installations, The Trophy
Room and The Shooting Gallery. In the Shooting Gallery three series of
birds sit atop long platforms that reference docks, runways and conveyor
belts. Each ceramic and wood fowl sports a strap-on beak, mutely trying to
disguise themselves as a bird of another kind. In Trophy Room, Lynch
treats the setting of a sportsman's trophy room with a mixture of parody,
respect and scolding playfulness. By recasting ideas of ownership and
competition, he reexamines the question of what people put on their walls
and why.
Lynch holds a BFA from the University of Southern California and an MFA from
Mills College. He is currently Chair of the Ceramics Department and
Assistant Professor at California College of the Arts.
