Nine Types of Industrial Pollution

Brad Kronz

Brad Kronz (*1986, San Diego) lives and works in New York. For his exhibition in Friart, the artist presents a composite of sculptures, collage-objects, drawings and photos.

In Nine Types of Industrial Pollution, Kronz sets up a play of imitations to touch on the idea of art defined as pathway and (re-)creation. In the exercise of attention, form frees itself from content and the act of possession is appeased in a spiritual Rausch (euphoria).
