ReviewJune 25, 2008You can't accuse Tom Friedman of favoritism: he'll work in any material, from pubic hair and dust to insulation foam and glitter. In his latest exhibition, Friedman's provocative humor begins with the show's title — the mention of monsters is immediately and amusingly enticing, while "and Stuff" breezily references the American artist's eclectic media with deliberate vagueness, a token of his disdain for restrictive narrative boundaries. The pieces on show have no obvious uniformity. The spiky, more-than-two-meter-tall Green Demon guards the entrance with toothpick teeth, standing next to a mirror-written message beginning "I am the supreme one!" Monster Collage's surreal canvas of magazine cut-outs is mounted crookedly on the wall, supported by a pair of photographic feet at its bottom; similarly, the pointed sorcerer's hat of Which is delicately constructed from shards of paper. -Lucy Davies |
