From McMansions to McMuffins, prefab replicas of original commodities are part of the nation’s DNA. When imitation culture permeates our environment, familiarity redefines itself and alters our personalities, senses of identity, and originality. A collection of sugar-coated pop collages, light sculpture, photographs, designs and paintings details the effects – real or imagined – of the changing landscape in the United States.

6-8pm – Maximum Approach in the Bunting Center (There’ll be some great performances at this)Maximum Approach, July 19 – 22. Maximum Approach is a two collective show featuring the works of PaperRad (Providence, RI and Pittsburgh, PA) and Crystal Coven (Baltimore, MD). Both collectives share in common the utilization of incredibly realized groupspeak-while maintaining clear voices of the individual- and often incredibly overwhelming aesthetic approaches. The two separate installations promise to draw the visitors wholly and entirely in to the two camps’ hyper realized worlds of damaged pop culture overload and creepy witchy mystery… the opening reception with artists in attendance is not to be missed. Curator: Brendan Fowler, co-editor, ANPQuarterly, music and text based artist under the name BARR.
