Five Thirty Three in collaboration with de Soto Gallery presents
Absolutely Not: Recent Works by Pascual Sisto.
Pascual Sisto's new works explore themes of emancipation and the absolute, or better yet, absolute emancipation. The artist reconsiders historical events and significant philosophical documents that greatly influenced contemporary society and specifically his own personal artistic practice. These include the ephemeral writings on the walls of Paris that preceded the events of May 1968 to centuries-old monuments and significant philosophical works in either book or film. Sisto emancipates these seminal works by revisiting and modifying the original sources with a range from subtle to sometimes destructive variations. Through looking back, the works play with the anticipation of what is to come.
The exhibition includes neon, video, photography, text, and a confetti blast performance at 8pm.
