With installations that variously evoke martial arts, pop culture, fetish and football, the show turns the space into an oversized board game for the gallery visitor to negotiate. As noted in the press release: “Childhood, its ruptures, nostalgia, and innocence give way to the inevitable violence of things coming to an end.”**
