British artist Tariq Alvi reappropriates and subverts found materials gathered from mass media; he constructs highly charged and complex collages with images ranging from pornography to haute-couture ads, as well as sensationalist texts excerpted from tabloids and newspapers. Hanging Matters, Alvi's striking new solo exhibition at 2nd Floor Projects, continues where his 2005 Capp Street Project residency left off — deterritorializing viewers' common associations with the images found in his work while making a larger commentary on Western materialism and the war in Iraq.
