Hello My Friend
Alee Peoples
General Projects
March 24 - June 2, 2023
Alee Peoples is an innovative multimedia artist whose work explores the intersections of text, pattern, and visual communication. Her work is like a Rubik's Cube, deceptively simple and fascinating. Shooting Super8 and 16mm in her film work and using repurposed fabric and materials in her textile work, Peoples transforms everyday objects into unique, abstract narratives that explore the absurdities and banalities of our contemporary imagination. Elements of a cosmic aesthetic run throughout her work, bringing her handcrafted look to life. Her work engages in a fierce form of play, grappling with meaning instead of trying to grasp it.
Peoples’ exhibition, Hello My Friend, at General Projects debuts a new print edition from Insert Press, Caroline’s Jeans, by Alee Peoples in an edition of 25 plus 4 A.P.’s. Highlighting an interplay of patterns, Caroline’s Jeans, 2023, is a silkscreen monoprint onto an Archival InkJet print on 21mil Epson Cold Press Bright paper, 22” x 17”.
Insert Press is excited also to announce the publication of Hello My Friend, an exhibition catalogue of Alee Peoples' show at General Projects from March 24 to June 2, 2023 including an essay by Ekrem Serdar and full documentation of the show.
