Showing: Brad Downey – ‘Souvenirs’ @ Ruttkowski;68

Posted by butterfly, April 26, 2015

Ruttkowski;68 gallery in Cologne, Germany recently opened a new solo by American artist Brad Downey. Titled Souvenirs, the show features short videos and a series of everyday objects and utilitarian materials juxtapozed in a new context creating a novel meaning.
