Wes Lang: Are You Ready For The Country?

Mary 22 – June 21, 2008

Wes Lang dances through the bone-yard of America’s tattered narrative embracing both the darkness visible in gallows humor and the risky taunting of viewers in the face of their own taboos. Referencing the alternating pattern of American optimism and obliviousness, from the brash self-promotion and electric voice of Walt Whitman to the booze-fueled failure and heartbreak of Willie Nelson, Lang seeks the source of our duplicity by way of the traditions in our perversions and the pungent stink of our proudest moments. Expounding the violence inherent in our sexual, racial and cultural customs and all the passion of our literary, artistic and political legacies, Lang takes subject matter both canonical and vernacular at dead reckoning. In the end, he skirts political perils and pratfalls by exposing the contradictions in damning our distinctly American vision so steeped in assumptions of protection beyond the pale.

This solo show is Lang’s third at ZieherSmith. His work has also been seen in exhibitions in Berlin at Peres Projects; in New York at Alexander and Bonin, Greenberg Van Doren, and Andrea Rosen Gallery; in Athens at the Deste Foundation and Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre; among others.

ZieherSmith is located at 533 W. 25th between 10th & 11th Aves and open Tues-Sat, 10 am-6 pm

You miss me.

I had a dream last night, a nightmare really.. I saw something over my bed trying to stab me. I was trying to wake up and I couldn’t. I remember saying.. “I dont’ want to to die.” And then I swear, I thought, wait, I most surely will die in this lifetime, so I changed it to “I don’t want to die NOW!”..

So my friend and travelmate Davey just posted up some videos from our trip to Iceland, check them out

HERE.

the following reasons are why you my humble audience (all 2 of you) have been ignored for the days following my return from the land o’ Ice.

a.  Opal.  The Icelandic Mint and Alcohol.

b.  Grand Theft Auto

c.  My distaste for my own Google Reader..  You keep going even when I am not interested!

d.  Sleep.

e.  Work.

that is all.  things that are promised to you in the near future.  Links, Muxtape and more Icelandic pictures.

promise.

(CLICK TO SEE ALL PICTURES LARGER)

So finally, here is a sort of sum up of my trip to Iceland. Please note that after long debates amongst my people (read: my travel buddy) I will only be posting a few pictures and then I will point you in the direction of his pictures at the end.

So as usual there are a few things you need to know about Iceland:

a. It’s a small country. Not in size but in population. There are 2 people per square kilometer on the island. A total population of 300,000 … that’s the whole country, 2/3’s of them living in the (only) city, Reykjavik. I have that many people living in the apartment above me. (Damn neighbors!)

We realized this when, the minute we got on line to check in to leave JFK, everyone knew everyone. It was ridiculous. It was like we were crashing some tour group that spoke some Nordic language that featured 6′ tall blonde viking women. (the Masons?)

b. Iceland has guidos. I know this is hard to believe. But it’s true. They wear pink sweatpants, listen to dance music and fucking CRUISE. I am not kidding. They cruise.

Also everyone in the whole country smokes cigarettes.  Everyone.  Ask someone, I dare you.

c. Everyone is 1/2 of a couple. We didn’t meet one person that was not in a relationship. It was strange. I guess when there’s only 200k people in a city, there isn’t much of a choice. Find someone and stick to them.

d. There is a war going on. And it’s serious. Honestly, PEPSI MAX is holding down Reykjavik. Coke is running a distant second but they have to know they are losing. Pepsi Max would have signs on store fronts that were bigger than the names of the store. PEPSI MAX joes pizzaria. Shit like that. Pepsi Max is as popular as driving in Iceland. Buy into it before it buys YOU!

e. There are a TON of shitty dirtroads in Iceland. Trust me, we drove on one for like 40 mins and it felt like we were driving around in snow made of rocks.

But there is no reason at all for all the fuckin’ MONSTER trucks there are in Iceland. Very tiny cars and monster cars. That’s it. (oh yeah and one yellow camaro that this guido drove up and down the main street for hours on the weekend)

Also there are no automatic transmissions in all of Iceland. even in minivan taxis. manual.

f. I ate some whale and puffin. Yes I know. Cute animals. But if we learned anything from my trip to Buenos Aires, when backed into the corner, i’ll kill most cute animals for some quick pleasure. Whale, totally scrumptious. Check out Davey’s pictures below for a picture of the whale steak. For those who care, it takes like swordfish meets steak meets moby dick (the novel).

I had a 20 dollar soup that featured mushrooms and shellfish at the fanciest place in the world. We both showed up in shitty sneakers and backpacks. WE R CLASSY!

Also, their hotdogs are like what heaven and handjobs and whip cream must taste like. They were just beautiful. (also see davey’s pictures for one of those)

One more thing … Beer is expensive. We found nothing less than a 9 dollar beer the WHOLE time, unless you buy from the gov’t store, then they cost like 2 bucks. it’s a ridiculous system, I know. Everywhere we went, people were sneaking beers in with them. And instead of gold diggers there were beer-diggers. Girls (or dudes) would come up to you, be super nice to you and then get you to buy them a drink then disappear. WTF?

g. Just so you know… No matter where you go in this world, you will ALWAYS meet someone from New Jersey! Shout out to Thom from Roselle Park, met him on our first day!

h. There are no snakes or mosquitoes in Iceland. No shit.

i. This will be it for PART ONE, let this be said. Iceland is beautiful. It’s like Alaska meets Colorado meets the surface of the Moon.

SO BELOW ARE SOME PICTURES FROM MY TRIP> I just picked some of my favorites so far.. I will post more in the next posting. Please comment if you like these.

(A hotel near our place. It seemed empty all the time.)

(Gulfoss waterfall)

(A little Blue.)
