This month at TAG/The Artists Gallery
Chris Maden, "Circus Peanut"
FEATURED ARTIST CHRIS MADEN PRESENTS:
CIRCUS PEANUT
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up as featured artist, Christopher Madden, presents his provocative new exhibit, Circus Peanut. Do you remember that orange supposedly banana-flavored, peanut-shaped candy?
“This inexplicable confection has the reputation of being the most misunderstood candy in the world,” says Madden. “It is in this that I found a nexus with the paintings I am making — misunderstood, but often provoking a strong dialogue.
The layout of Madden’s solo exhibit suggests a vintage circus sideshow. The artist aims to present more than an arrangement of paintings on gallery walls. He wants the viewer to experience ideas, along with a sense of absurdist theatricality.
“I invite you to come to my exhibit,” says Madden. “The circus is coming to town.”
Circus Peanut opens on Friday, April 5. You can meet Madden and the other TAG artists at a reception on April 6 from 5 to 8. Mark your calendar for Madden’s thought-provoking talk on April 13 at 3:00.
