On 'False Flags' in Stamford

Still from Theodore Darst’s “This Machine Makes Fascists,’’ in the show “False Flag: The Space Between Paranoia and Reason,’’ at Franklin Street Works, Stamford, Conn., through Jan. 6.

 
The gallery explains:

“‘False Flag: The Space Between Paranoia and Reason,’ refers to false flags,’ or situations where a segment of the population accuses the government of staging a traumatic event in order to push an agenda. With videos, sculptures, paintings and photographs the exhibiting artists allow the viewer to formulate their own view of the contemporary and vast subject matter of paranoia, philosophical position and psychological state.’’

Exhibition against anxiety

 

 "C.L.U.E.  (color location ultimate experience), Part  1 (video), by A.L. Steiner & Robbinschild, in the show "It's gonna take a lotta love,'' at Franklin Street Works, Stamford, Conn, through May 24.

The gallery says that in the video  "two women perform dance-infused movements in backdrops of natural and built environments, connecting color, action, attitude and environment in a way that includes the audience in their choreographed antics. In an age of anxiety, isolated individualism and virtually-lived experience, this exhibition is a refreshing exploration of inclusivity, authenticity and commonality.''
