Artist's Statement
Lisa Kirk (b. New York City, 1967) makes work that investigates the contradictions of consumerism and the aestheticization of formerly politically radical signifiers. "My projects are intentionally infused with an overflow of cultural symbols whose meanings seemingly depict that something "real" is happening." This among other strategies are employed to draw in an an audience that often stretches beyond the parameters of the contemporary "art world" and challenges what art can mean in the 21 century.
