Jeff Wall at Studio for Propositional Cinema

The symbo-cred cash-out of artists post-mid career usually excuses a lot of easy bad production under a brand to activate it and printed big. Annoying at best, sad at worst. No idea when these were taken, but the choice to exhibit them now could signal the tragic end for Wall's conceptual interest, but instead, rather than place its lens towards big generic what-have-yous of impressive mediocrity, it turns its Wallian skepticism of photographic staging towards small snapshots, that most unstaged and true photography, the thing we base our personal live's recording on, ominous.

"In the second exhibition Gerber presents two Supports, each oil paint on cinematic props of Nazi scalps from Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds."

"Frieze Magazine: Questionnaire: Sturtevant.
What film has most influenced you?
Any film of Quentin Tarantino because he is a concrete example of the vast barren interior of man."
