Museum Gallery/Gallery Museum Presents:

UN related: A Giant Cap Gun and White Discs
Friday, December 10th from 8pm - 12am

UN related is a two-person exhibition featuring work by Waseem Touma (Kansas City, MO) and Dronex Inc. (Lexington, KY)

WASEEM TOUMA:

This particular installation by Waseem Touma focuses on the idea of 'clusters'. Individual units responding and reacting together, bouncing off each other to form their own personality as a floating structure. Also relating to the relationship between two-dimensional compositions that serve as the portal to our imaginations, and three-dimensional forms that actually interact with the space we occupy. The arrangement implies the forms have a starting point like all living things, shooting out of the brick wall in an asymmetrical form, and then as they try and hold together, they force us to duck and weave and slide in between them as individual units, then crash into the drawing, which becomes their resting place, and the final marks of their brief existence.

The wall pieces are a more direct reference to a chronic back injury Waseem suffers from a car accident. It implies not only the fragility of ones infrastructure and more specifically, spinal column, but also the visual beauty found in simple, organic, repetitive shapes that symbolize moments in time like fossils in the earth.

DRONEX INC.

Here at Dronex, our products are the fruit of a collective effort aimed to connect with people and spawn dialogues that translate across many demographics. Our goods attempt to regurgitate the amazement and absurdity of our reality in a way that provides a dichotomous critique of the way we have come to live, and the things we have come to love. It is difficult for artists today to be simultaneously appreciated in the spheres of high and low culture and with Dronex Inc., we are trying to bridge the gap between the gallery and the gutter.
