ALEX BAG
January 9 - April 2009
For her first solo museum presentation, Alex Bag is creating a newly commissioned video installation inspired by the 1970s children’s syndicated television show, "The Patchwork Family," on which the artist's mother appeared as host. Continuing her commentary on contemporary media culture, and in her signature satirical style, Bag peoples her audience with real-life kids, as well as a variety of stock characters from her previous work, including conspiracy theorists, witches, neurochemists, corporate raiders, and suburban housewives.
