Perhaps best known for his site-specific wall paintings that feature satirical figurative imagery, decorative script, floating heads, and simple tags, Barry McGee presents a newly commissioned installation at REDCAT that draws upon the attitudes and processes of unsanctioned acts of expression. McGee’s wry sense of tragedy and skilled hand continue to develop a destabilized art practice that suggest a nostalgia for direct forms of communication, an insatiable appetite for discarded and recycled remains, and an ambivalent relationship toward consumer society. McGee is based in San Francisco
