Pay to Play

January 16 – March 8, 2015

Joe Amrhein, Rico Gatson, William Powhida, Rita Valley

The artists in PAY TO PLAY keep a keen eye on the bottom line. With deadpan humor and a cool remove, William Powhida and Rita Valley's works make you laugh — at first. In concert with Rico Gatson's seductive abstractions and Joe Amrhein's meditation on monetary terms, their compelling works offer a deeper look at core economic issues.

Joe Amrhein, Rico Gatson, William Powhida, Rita Valley.
