Kronz has shown everywhere, making the rounds, leaving an exhibition at every cool young space, once. Sorta like the work, unable tell where we're at, what scale we exist on. Is this a model for something, is this a representation, or is it an object? Everything happens only once. (Except for the time it happens 3 times.) Then it's off somewhere else. Never firm ground to stand on. A fun press release. Weird enough to be interesting, scrappy enough to leave you skeptical. A friend you can't form a relationship to.

Commodity displays look a lot like our information displays, the Google images that look a lot like old toy catalogs, inventories of our blossoming desires anointed with the heavenly light of product photography pornography, offering a selection menu that is overexposed, bleaching like coral reefs whose left white skeletons trace a once thriving culture. The ecosystem remains a ghost of taxonomic fossils remaining, held for the assessment of all the dreams of a life embedded.

Both literal and figurative quotes around bullet holes vented into "My Opinion" and "Other People's Opinion" printed in positive+negative which, like the PR so rife with, refusal to designate which is which, pros or cons, advantage or disadvantage, a full spectrum ambivalence to evaluation. Lethargy in violence, bullet holes that sort of look like the assholes of opinions that everyone has, here printed with Cannon's new digital litho replacement Colorwave: "ColorWave 900 large format poster printer has a raw print speed of more than 12,000 square feet per hour and is able to print a run length equivalent to the height of New York City's One World Trade Center in just 30 minutes."  Reprinting someone else's last line: "the near-monochromatic lifelessness of a repackaged and repurposed disobedience."
