With Vice. And Versa., Dyrenforth continues his ongoing investigation of masculine character types in contemporary media culture, specifically the personas of the rock star and American cowboy. In his installations, videos, sculptures, and drawings, the artist examines clichéd male heroes by creating a virtual catalog of personas and types. Drawing from familiar aspects of pop culture from film to music history, Dyrenforth explores mutable or plastic identities, navigating the line between fantasy and projected reality.
