December 10 - January 30, 2023
From Ruth Street Projects:
“Ruth Street Projects is excited to announce a solo exhibition of the animatronic sculptures of Jon Read. Jon Read’s immersive installation will turn the gallery space into a day-glow fantasy landscape populated by a large series of animatronic sculptures made over the lockdown period of the pandemic and inspired by a need to fill his home with something alive to combat the crushing isolation of those dark times. Created by mixing hacked battery operated toys with more traditional sculptural techniques and materials, the works in “Than Somewhere They Must Be Believing In Me” provide a neon-drenched portal deeper into the idiosyncratic fantasies of Read’s previous 2D installations, paintings, and murals.”
Reception: December 10, 2022 | 5–8 pm
