Joey Fauerso: Teardowns

Presented by Contemporary at Blue Star at Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum

The exhibition features a 50-foot mural inspired by the White House’s Diplomatic Reception Room wall paper Views of North America. The mural is presented along with sculpture, video, and performance-based works, including the wooden blocks which have served as both prop and installation elements since Fauerso’s time at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien for the BSC Berlin Residency Program in 2017. The exhibition also integrates Fauerso’s ongoing interest in the ways gender is expressed and defined in Western art and the cognitive and creative processes of children observed and lived through her parental experiences.
