Mixed Greens is thrilled to present Joseph Smolinski’s first solo exhibition in New York. He will debut a series of graphite drawings, sculptures and a video commenting on the contemporary landscape.
Smolinski’s view of the landscape changed the day he spotted an enormous fake tree used to camouflage a cellular communication tower. This “Franken-Tree” has since triggered images of a biotech future where parasitic microwave transmitters use the trees inhabiting suburbia and apocalyptic gardens as their hosts.
