Essex Flowers presents Everything Is Different Now, an installation by Aaron Krach featuring objects with text, and new collages. The work ranges in size from domestic to industrial but all contain the artist’s signature ambiguous-but-sincere words and phrases.
“I want text that can be read in different ways,” says the artist. “‘Everything is different now’ can be a good thing. Finally, let's celebrate! Or it could be a warning. Things are different in a bad way. Let’s get back to work!”
Krach extends his promiscuous use of materials introducing wood and ceramics. The hand-painted sign is by Fred Wunder, a Pennsylvania sign painter. The large vinyl is original and a found object. The piece was first installed as a billboard along a highway in 2021. Now inside, it becomes more image than text, and the letters feel architectural.
In addition, the artist is showing the new collages, part of his “Sculpture of the 20th Century” series, named after a catalog published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1952.
Aaron Krach is a Brooklyn-based artist working with objects, text, and images to ask questions such as: Who are we? What is freedom? And where are we going? He started @ND Aaron Krach in 2023 to foster experimental collaborative publications.
