On the other two walls of the main gallery, which are painted a customary white, there is an oil painting of blue balls on a white field, «Bloobs» (2014) by Mathew Cerletty; a loopy, oddly
affecting drawing, «Untitled (shit)» (2011) by David Shrigley, of concentric circles emanating from the word «shit»; Vern Blosum's «Off The Hook» (2015), a larger -
than - life - size graphite drawing of a vintage payphone with its receiver dangling, appropriately, off the hook; and Emily Mae Smith's «The Studio (Science
Fiction)» (2015), which depicts the split halves of an eggshell hovering above a flying saucer / fried egg, the edge of its white perimeter forming the words «THE STUDIO» against the starry blackness of outer space.
Oddly enough, I may have been
affected personally by a touch of PTOHSSD back in the day, although honest truth, elements of all those are from former colleagues» stories over the years — so truth is indeed stranger
than fiction.
