Solo-exhibition PRZ NYC

Proyectos Raul Zamudio is pleased to present Joseph DeLappe: Tactical Resistance, Requiem for the Fall, a mixed-media, solo exhibition of works-on-paper, prints, photographs, video, sculpture, and AI-based artworks. 

In the words of the artist himself: I have been making works that question "American Exceptionalism" for decades. This exhibition examines the seemingly unfettered march towards an authoritarian America - coinciding and perhaps aided by an enthusiastic embrace of a purely technocratic worldview as represented by emerging AI technologies. Tactical Resistance: Requiem for the Fall, features a selection of works engaging themes of religion, politics, AI, war, and remembrance. In these crucial times, how do we, as artists, resist? How do we create works that speak to the all too rapid slide towards authoritarianism in the USA? Featured works include: the AI shallow fake video "The Origins of Totalitarianism: A Reading by Donald Trump"; "Liberty Weeps" 3D print/sculpture; "dead-in-iraq" gaming intervention and memorial; "The Computerized Confessional" AI priest/chatbot; and "The Atone Project: Remembering the Ahmadi's", rubbings taken from the World Trade Center Site Memorial, among others.
