| Title: | It's Nice to Be Nice, Try It: Gregory S. Maass & Nayoungim |
| Description: | This catalogue features works by artist duo Gregory S. Maass & Nayoungim from 2007-2008. Texts by Sytze Steenstra and Jonathan Lahey Dronsfield are included. 'The installations and drawings by Gregory Maass and Nayoungim documented in this book consist mostly of widening gaps between the constituent parts. They form a seismic zone, riddled with ravines and fissures, eminently unstable cityscapes of found objects, catchy remarks, dumb puns, cartoons, gleefully deliberate ugliness, blunt parody. To the untrained eye, there is very little to keep the whole shebang from falling in over your head, leaving rubbish. But the installations give the appearance of knowing that you've seen as many bad television shows as they have, and as many commercials, and as many films, and you know that they know, and they know that you know that they know. And they appear to know, and secretly build on a good deal of, say, Neo-Dada and Fluxus and Pop Art, and they have zapped from Concept to Minimal and back, and all that has taught them to keep their formlessness apart from their meaninglessness, making sure that the chasm between the dumb and the ugly is widening, that the real is only suggested, and that your curiosity is getting involved.' - Sytze Steenstra Note: A downloadable PDF version of this book is available at http://nayoungim-maass.com/downloads.html |
