Artist Reception, 17 July 2018
On July 17, 2018, ArtistSpace and Metro Gallery present DISPOSABLE LIVES, the 5th solo exhibition of visual artist, Isobel Francisco. Disposable Lives chronicles the artist’s visual sojourn as she stares into the void of existence. In Francisco’s hands, waste becomes the central point of the discussion as the artist likens our brief lives to “cosmic garbage,” desperately piecing together human experiences that inevitably decay, disappear, or are rendered meaningless. Building upon the central image of the garbage bag, which was introduced in her 2016 exhibition Sea of Fertility, she wonderfully executes a collection that captures her observations on human ruin.
While the duality of life and destruction reverberated through her previous exhibition, Francisco’s latest show is an affront to the age-old delusion of man as the center of the universe.
