“3 days off”\, is an exhibition in two parts that pr esents the work of “a young artist in Vancouver”Dustin Brons. He points laconically\, but never brusquely\, to the latent humour embe dded in the business of contemporary partying rituals and meditations on th e Utopic\; making appropriate and astute mockery of the intensity and serio usness given to these activities by their players and their discourse. Iron ically\, in perpetuating these reconsiderations\, Brons propels their criti cal interrogation\, and even is perhaps futile in democratizing these contr asting occupations addressed in his interactive work Party Tonight (2011) a nd 1-channel HD video\, The Artist Discussing His Idea of a Perfect Society (2012). In recalling that Brons is pointing\, one is reminded that the Con cepual tradition of pointing à la Baldessari is suggestive and provocative\ , speculative yet removed\, and poignant in his or her bystanding.
Th
e first portion of “3 days off” will be realized exclusively online on TGG’
s website. It will be translated into a concrete exhibition at The Amazing
Gallery in Vancouver this coming Fall.
