Participant is proud to present GRISTLE SPRINGS, the first New York solo exhibition of Gary Indiana since Extinction at American Fine Arts, Co. in 2002, featuring works in photography and video. New photographic works are comprised of combinations of images shot with a variety of digital and 35mm cameras over a thirty-year period, using the model of multiple-screen surveillance monitors and CCTV cameras as a means to organize dissociated images, insinuating that simultaneity has replaced the linear continuity of visual information. Like movie frames, some with overlaid text, these associative blocks present complex relationships between found, appropriated, and original images, suggesting narratives not inherent to the individual images themselves, but generated by association.
