Cyr
Kevin Cyr talks about the underlying optimism of his show Home in the Weeds, showing until June 4th at 941 Geary. Cyr’s show is a reminder in how resilient people can be, and his installations are an inspiring look at just how much we could easily do without.

941 Geary is pleased to present Home In The Weeds, a brand-new collection of installations and 2D work by Brooklyn-based artist Kevin Cyr. The show will be Kevin’s first solo project at 941 Geary, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 30, 2011 from 6-9 pm. The exhibition is free and open to the public for viewing through June 4.
Home in the Weeds is a personal reaction to the fragility of our current society. After the worst economic downturn since the Depression, a feeling of imminent doom remains. With jobs scarce, and government safety nets shrinking, one misfortune — a layoff, an injury, or missed payment — can transform a person’s life beyond recognition. Home in the Weeds examines the idea of shelter as a safe haven for a future worst-case scenario as well as more optimistic notions of home and self-preservation.

Comment by AB: Glen E. Friedman’s photographs read like a Who’s Who of punk, hip hop and skateboard culture notables from the late 1970s through the 1990s.
