As with his previous incarnation as Sid Vicious posing as Warchol's Elvis, report politics, and art collide. The Guevara theme will continue in this, Turk's first major indicate outside the UK. Billboard images and graffiti tags (fashion encounters activism) will accompany other signs of life upon the street: a tramp statuary cardboard boxes, rubbish bags. The bags and boxe will, of course, be made of metal painted to apply the mind like the real thing. These and a dozen other works--including, perhaps, a film about the search for a smoking monkey (a surrogate Kurtz?)--are staging places for Turk's ongoing exploration of artifice and authenticity. tribe 22. 2000--Jan. 21, 2001.
