You’ve seen it on the streets – just a black square with white text. Two
names, a mirror image of themselves. These discreet signs of whoever
or whatever refers to itself as PERU ANA ANA PERU are backed up by
an eclectic collection of ornately designed pieces of artwork– pasted,
fastened, scribbled or dangling to your left or right.
WHO ARE THEY? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? We are often asked these
questions. PERU ANA ANA PERU’s use of different mediums is a treat
if you enjoy such things and will certainly cut up a neat freak looking to
compartmentalize them. Well we may not have all the answers you’ve
been searching for, but we do have their first solo show and hope to
bring you as close to their identities as you have been so far.
“...And Then We Jumped into the Abyss of Numbers: Memories in
Absurdity From the Bowels of Peru Ana Ana Peru”, is the title of their
exhibition. A bit long? –Maybe. Very telling? –Yes. Their “abyss of
numbers” will explore the unknown, the bizarre and the surreal through
multi-media paintings/drawings, sculpture and installations. Video art
pieces telling strange narratives will be a key focus of the work and will
offer viewers yet another peek into this duo’s collective psyche. This
work, harmonious with a gallery space, is also intimately connected to
their street presence. At their request, we dizzily revel in the irrational.
As a much added bonus, the soundtrack to the opening night event will
be performed by BOMB SQUAD [Hank Shocklee; Future Frequency].
The force behind Public Enemy and some of the most significant albums
of all time with a preview of the new upcoming album of futuristic dub and
live electronics.
Brooklynite Gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday from 1:00pm – 7:00pm or by appointment.
