Franklin Parrasch Gallery is pleased to present Everything Else, the fourth in a series of exhibitions dedicated to examining human evolution and the creative process. Everything Else asks “Why do ‘things’ get made? What are the demands of a culture that prompt such production? And, how do the products of everyday life touch on the spiritual and the immaterial?” To answer these questions, this exhibition brings together the commercial aspects of everyday life, from popular culture, to advertising to industrial design, and investigates the roots of these phenomena within the context of art. The show encompasses over thirty works by sixteen artists residing in North America, Asia, and Europe, who examine the interstice between commerce and social politics.
