LA-based Richard Wearn's wryly ambiguous art combines performance, photography, video and a healthy obsession with history. "Untitled" features photos of tiny architectural models placed around Paris in locations synonymous with the May 1968 uprising. "Trouw (Fidelity)" meanwhile is a video installation documenting the changing light atop an Amsterdam building that boasts a history of fomenting progressive quasi-anarchy, from WWII resistance to modern-day raves. In both cases, his counter-intuitive method of blending the past (what has been lost) with the present (the action he takes) leads straight to the future (what might be gained by using one's imagination).
