Amanda Ross-Ho returns to Cherry and Martin with her latest exhibition of mixed-media sculptural installation, Half of What I Say Is Meaningless. Since she last showed at the west-side gallery with her similarly nihilistic-sounding — yet whimsically executed — installation Nothin Fuckin Matters, Ross-Ho became a highlight of the 2008 Whitney Biennial, further cementing her presence on everyone's to-watch list. Considering the interplay between high and low art forms, as well as between the historical and the personal, Ross-Ho assembles seemingly disparate found objects, photographs, sculptures, and paintings. Asking how kitty litter and canvas, pictures of planet Earth and the artist's family, and ripped-out drywall correlate, Ross-Ho serves up a game of connect-the-dots where the solution is hinted at, but never fully revealed.
