Description

MANIAC presents program 4, Fuck Forever, an exhibition debuting new work from San Francisco-based artist Erin Allen. Producing his first solo show, Allen independently transforms MANIAC into a territory of miscellany, in lieu of a stagnant exhibition, closely consulting with the basis of Allen's bizarre world of 'Very Dark Sunday' (Shitty Legacies), a blackened world where icons and insignias of the past thirty years within the American psyche become visual subjects of reexamination and emblematical matter.

While working across the traditions of painting, drawing and mixed-media installation, Allen's content is inherently informed by a specific lineage of music, pop-idolatry, and fallen-luminaries, a linage that seeks thrashed media personas as icons while incorporating elements of the generic and the debased to temper the universality of cultural misnomers relating to well-known social symbols.
