Mark Mumford: "New Work"

January 4, 2007—February 3, 2007 | Reception Thursday, Jan. 4th, 6-8PM

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present the second exhibition of text-based work by Mark Mumford. In this show, the artist continues his investigation of words and phrases often found in everyday speech. Creating text-based images produced from commercially made vinyl lettering, and then applying them directly to the gallery walls, the work is, at its core, performative. But, instead of being a physical act of endurance the pieces are intellectually driven by the complexity of language.
