Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker

Guyton and Walker are two up-and-comers whose work was most recently seen, respectively, at the Whitney Biennial and at the legendary Paula Cooper gallery in New York. For this show, the pair engaged in some pretty heady collaborative hijinks. They subjected a limited selection of imagery—including a designer couch, a knife blade, a private jet, and a photograph of another art duo, Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss—to a formidable array of techniques: scanning, spray-painting, cutting, computer printing, silk-screening, etc. You might say that they’re exploding, expanding upon, then giving a tech update to the Warhol tradition of multiples. As with the exhibit title, XXXXX BBB XXXXXXFFFFFF FFF, the works are interestingly off-putting—it’s incumbent on the viewer to dig in, do some decoding, and figure out just what’s going on. 2500 University Ave., Suite C2, St. Paul; (651) 917-1851
