Nayland Blake: Behavior

Location One presents a survey of Nayland Blake's provocative mixed-media work, drawing from nearly every facet of Blake's 25-year career. Blake, a New York native, addresses issues of sexuality and race with a dark sense of humor, provoking both thought and laughter. This retrospective includes major early works such as Magic (1991), a conjurer's valise-cum-shrine, and his glittering Heavenly Bunny Suit (1994), alongside more recent sculptures, videos, and installation pieces. The gallery show is supplemented by a series of performance nights curated by Blake, featuring a re-staging of Gorge (1998), the artist's infamous epic of eating.

    Me too, Bosco. ATL is too damn far from NYC.
