CARROLL & GAYDOS:
Farmality
August 7 to September 12, 2004Images from the show here
* Farmality Preview here
Farmality at Western Exhibitions is Baltimore artists CARROLL & GAYDOS' Chicago solo show debut. Carroll & Gaydos collaborate on sculptures, drawings and photos of mutants, half-breeds, hybrids and other freakish and terrifying composites from farm animals and cultivated plants that abstract and confuse issues of biotechnology. While certainly critical of bio-engineering and "McFood", these works are not all gloom and doom: they're also hilarious, fun and kinda sexy.
Carroll & Gaydos' work has been seen in Chicago at Western Exhibitions' Stray Show booth in 2003, and they have exhibited extensively throughout the Baltimore/Washington DC area, including American University and the Korean Embassy. Farmality travels to Western Exhibitions from the School 33 Art Center in Baltimore. In conjunction to that show, the Baltimore Sun wrote a feature story on the duo's collaborative process that ran on the front page of the Sun's weekend section. Their work has also been written about in the Washington Post, Baltimore City Paper, The Capital Times (Madison) and the Korea Times.
