Robert Attanasio’s text-based works on paper playfully skewer the art world. For example, representing museums as mausoleums where art is buried, the artist mocks their predictable and interchangeable collections. Attanasio’s stripped-down yet visually-arresting pieces are syllabic puzzles. These deconstructed words force viewers to reconstruct in order to decipher them. By manipulating the space through cropping and placement, the artist makes room for multiple meanings. The works share a desire to dismiss institutionalized and sanctioned art and artists while paradoxically engaging with them.

All proceeds will go towards assisting the artist with his recent medical expenses.
Please come to enjoy the work and help out in any way you can!

The exhibition, which brings together works from both private collections and public institutions, is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog with an essay by Rauschenberg scholar Robert S. Mattison (author of Robert Rauschenberg: Breaking Boundaries) and an interview with Rauschenberg’s collaborator Alan Eaker.
