STNDRD Exhibitions presents Mirror Garland Great Symbol by Jordan Geiger with Emma Wang on view June 27th -August 14th. A reception will be held on Saturday, July 25th from 5pm-7pm.
Mirror Garland Great Symbol imagines the flagpole of STNDRD as a stake in the ground, from which a message is issued in the form of a banner. Taking the symbolic realm as an intermediary between the seen and unseen, an offering is made to the spirit of the place, an image created as a sort of diplomatic liaison between the eternal and the timebound.
