High on Media: Fair Warnings From the 80s E.V. Neo-Conceptualists

Peter Nagy (1959–2026), co-founder of Gallery Nature Morte, was going to write an essay for the show.

We’d like to thank all the people who’ve advised, and loaned works for a community-sourced exhibition. Small pieces are often exchanged amongst friends, and this show includes cherished works from people’s homes. The title of the show comes from a song by Sandra Seymour, Same Way, from the 80s all-girl band Bite Like A Kitty. Like the works of these artists, it modeled the scenarios of our current media engulfment. “…long on pain, short on ego, high on media ill-prepared for the ways of the world I’m the same way you are…” Same Way by Bite Like A Kitty, 1986
