Identity Crisis

Chris Hauck - Identity Crisis Series
Ends June 28, 2008 - Gallery XIV


The biography for the show for Chris Hauck explains it best.

The Identity Crisis Series is Chris Hauck’s multi-mediated, UPC-coded commentary on modern identity that explores the commercialization of identity as constructed, adopted, broadcast, and discarded within a hyper-mediated environment. Chris Hauck’s current body of work involves paintings, installations, assemblage, and video.

“Identity Crisis: everything Is for sale” aims to infuse the thought of this generation’s own identity crisis by obviating the commercialization of the art world through the cash registers, clothing racks and even a changing room that infuse the gallery space.

Through a self reflective lens Hauck explores identity, “I am a product, in the General Mills or Procter & Gamble sense, of the first generation hyper-consumers. We are the post-boomer tweeners, nourished on a sugary diet of Saturday morning cartoons, Pink Floyd album covers, iron-on Tees, and Shit Happens bumper stickers… We found our identities on MTV, on billboards, in McDonald’s Happy Meals, and at the Chuck E Cheese video arcade in the pea-sized 5 acre suburban malls.” - Gallery XIV

Please check this show out ending on the 28th of this month.
