SIMON EVANS ‘SHITTY HEAVEN’ EXHIBITION AT JAMES COHAN GALLERY IN NYC

Currently running through June 11, 2011 at the James Cohan Gallery in New York City is Simon Evans ‘Shitty Heaven’ exhibit.

Shitty Heaven

In this exhibit, Evans assembles prosaic materials, such as scraps of paper, scotch tape, pencil shavings and correction fluid into diagrams, maps, flowcharts and diary entries that obsessively catalogue the fragments of a life. In 12 new text-based drawings, weavings and embroideries, the artist shares his confessional, idiosyncratic and wickedly humorous observations.
