'Buck $hot to the $oul' Set for Zener Schon Contemporary Art
"Buck $hot to the $oul", a provocative exhibition of new paintings, mixed-media installations, and sculpture by Laura Kimpton, will be on view at Zener Schon Contemporary Art from November 10 to December 12, 2015 in Mill Valley, CA. There will be an opening reception on November 12 from 6-8pm.
"Buck $hot to the $oul" concerns itself with what we don't talk about at the dinner table-money, drugs, religion, guns, and flags," says Kimpton. Displayed in a carnival-like atmosphere of innocent yet ironic observation, the work in the exhibition will mix words and symbols as metaphors for Kimpton's conceptual view that "EGO is Not Sacred". To further emphasize this point, there will be a performance during the opening where Kimpton will shoot her art with an air gun, literally and conceptually deconstructing her creations.
