BASEMENT GALLERY OAKLAND
Curated by Erica B Groff
Zach Houston, Solo Exhibition
March-April, 2010
Basement Gallery Oakland proudly presents semantic transgressions and creative obessions by Zach Houston.
"I explore and delineate the origins of consciousness in relationship to everyday life and believe that a primary function of creative instinct is the total transformation of society to benefit all living things.
My inquiries, drawings, spontaneous performance and writings, regard history, semiotics, technology, information theory, skeuomorphs, consensual reality, relational art as survival tactic, design science, situationism, mcluhan, street theater, improvisation, automatic writing, conceptual poetry, west coast counterculture, singularities, mysticism, space/time, art/life dialectics, and the notion that language/money form two ends of an identical thread connecting via symbolic/material exchange." -Zach Houston
